/*
Package parse provides support functionality for writing scannerless parsers.

The main entry point is the Parse function.
It works by setting up a parser on the supplied content, and then invoking the
supplied root parsing function. The CST is built for you inside the ParseLeaf
and ParseBranch methods of the parser, but it is up to the supplied parsing
functions to hold on to the CST if you want it, and also to build the AST.
