-* Turing Parser
-
-- A toolkit to write parsers for languages which are not CFGs and that need Turing-complete parsing code.
-- Provides tools to implement stateful lexers, keeping line-column information and generating good error messages.
-- Provides tools to transform the token stream, using arbitrary code, to generate annotated ASTs (i.e. with line/column number information)
