//
//  list_parser class
//
//      List parsers allow to parse constructs like
//
//          item >> *(delim >> item)
//
//      where 'item' is an auxiliary expression to parse and 'delim' is an
//      auxiliary delimiter to parse.
//
//      The list_parser class also can match an optional closing delimiter
//      represented by the 'end' parser at the end of the list:
//
//          item >> *(delim >> item) >> !end.
//
//      If ItemT is an action_parser_category type (parser with an attached
//      semantic action) we have to do something special. This happens, if the
//      user wrote something like:
//
//          list_p(item[f], delim)
//
//      where 'item' is the parser matching one item of the list sequence and
//      'f' is a functor to be called after matching one item. If we would do
//      nothing, the resulting code would parse the sequence as follows:
//
//          (item[f] - delim) >> *(delim >> (item[f] - delim))
//
//      what in most cases is not what the user expects.
//      (If this _is_ what you've expected, then please use one of the list_p
//      generator functions 'direct()', which will inhibit re-attaching
//      the actor to the item parser).
//
//      To make the list parser behave as expected:
//
//          (item - delim)[f] >> *(delim >> (item - delim)[f])
//
//      the actor attached to the 'item' parser has to be re-attached to the
//      *(item - delim) parser construct, which will make the resulting list
//      parser 'do the right thing'.
//
//      Additionally special care must be taken, if the item parser is a
//      unary_parser_category type parser as
//
//          list_p(*anychar_p, ',')
//
//      which without any refactoring would result in
//
//          (*anychar_p - ch_p(','))
//              >> *( ch_p(',') >> (*anychar_p - ch_p(',')) )
//
//      and will not give the expected result (the first *anychar_p will eat up
//      all the input up to the end of the input stream). So we have to
//      refactor this into:
//
//          *(anychar_p - ch_p(','))
//              >> *( ch_p(',') >> *(anychar_p - ch_p(',')) )
//
//      what will give the correct result.
//
//      The case, where the item parser is a combination of the two mentioned
//      problems (i.e. the item parser is a unary parser  with an attached
//      action), is handled accordingly too:
//
//          list_p((*anychar_p)[f], ',')
//
//      will be parsed as expected:
//
//          (*(anychar_p - ch_p(',')))[f]
//              >> *( ch_p(',') >> (*(anychar_p - ch_p(',')))[f] ).

//  List parser generator template
//
//      This is a helper for generating a correct list_parser<> from
//      auxiliary parameters. There are the following types supported as
//      parameters yet: parsers, single characters and strings (see
//      as_parser<> in meta/as_parser.hpp).
//
//      The list_parser_gen by itself can be used for parsing comma separated
//      lists without item formatting:
//
//          list_p.parse(...)
//              matches any comma separated list.
//
//      If list_p is used with one parameter, this parameter is used to match
//      the delimiter:
//
//          list_p(';').parse(...)
//              matches any semicolon separated list.
//
//      If list_p is used with two parameters, the first parameter is used to
//      match the items and the second parameter matches the delimiters:
//
//          list_p(uint_p, ',').parse(...)
//              matches comma separated unsigned integers.
//
//      If list_p is used with three parameters, the first parameter is used
//      to match the items, the second one is used to match the delimiters and
//      the third one is used to match an optional ending token sequence:
//
//          list_p(real_p, ';', eol_p).parse(...)
//              matches a semicolon separated list of real numbers optionally
//              followed by an end of line.
//
//      The list_p in the previous examples denotes the predefined parser
//      generator, which should be used to define list parsers (see below).
