-- This is a library of parser combinators, originally written by Koen Claessen.
-- It parses all alternatives in parallel, so it never keeps hold of 
-- the beginning of the input string, a common source of space leaks with
-- other parsers.  The '(+++)' choice combinator is genuinely commutative;
-- it makes no difference which branch is \"shorter\".

-- QuickCheck properties that hold for the combinators

{- $properties
The following are QuickCheck specifications of what the combinators do.
These can be seen as formal specifications of the behavior of the
combinators.

We use bags to give semantics to the combinators.

>  type Bag a = [a]

Equality on bags does not care about the order of elements.

>  (=~) :: Ord a => Bag a -> Bag a -> Bool
>  xs =~ ys = sort xs == sort ys

A special equality operator to avoid unresolved overloading
when testing the properties.

>  (=~.) :: Bag (Int,String) -> Bag (Int,String) -> Bool
>  (=~.) = (=~)

Here follow the properties:

>  prop_Get_Nil =
>    readP_to_S get [] =~ []
>
>  prop_Get_Cons c s =
>    readP_to_S get (c:s) =~ [(c,s)]
