-- This module also takes inspiration from the algorithm is described in:
-- /Parsing Permutation Phrases/, by Arthur Baars, Andres Löh and Doaitse

--
-- From these two works we derive a flexible and general method for parsing
-- permutations over an 'Applicative' structure. Quite useful in conjunction
-- with \"Free\" constructions of 'Applicative's, 'Monad's, etc.
--
-- Other permutation parsing libraries tend towards using special \"almost
-- applicative\" combinators for construction which denies the library user
-- the ability to lift and unlift permutation parsing into any 'Applicative'
-- computational context. We redefine these combinators as convenience
-- operators here alongside the equivalent 'Applicative' instance.
--
-- For example, suppose we want to parse a permutation of: an optional
-- string of @a@'s, the character @b@ and an optional @c@. Using a standard
-- parsing library combinator @char@, this can be described using the
-- 'Applicative' instance by:
--
-- > test = runPermutation $
-- >          (,,) <$> toPermutationWithDefault ""  (some (char 'a'))
-- >               <*> toPermutation (char 'b')
-- >               <*> toPermutationWithDefault '_' (char 'c')

-- | \"Unlifts\" a permutation parser into a parser to be evaluated with an
-- intercalated effect. Useful for separators between permutation elements.
--
-- For example, suppose that similar to above we want to parse a permutation
-- of: an optional string of @a@'s, the character @b@ and an optional @c@.
-- /However/, we also want each element of the permutation to be separated
-- by a colon. Using a standard parsing library combinator @char@, this can
-- be described using the 'Applicative' instance by:
--
-- > test = intercalateEffect (char ':') $
-- >          (,,) <$> toPermutationWithDefault "" (some (char 'a'))
-- >               <*> toPermutation (char 'b')
-- >               <*> toPermutationWithDefault '_' (char 'c')
--
-- This will accept strings such as: \"a:b:c\", \"b:c:a\", \"b:aa\", \"b\",
-- etc.
--
-- Note that the effect is intercalated /between/ permutation components and
-- that:
--
--     * There is never an effect parsed preceeding the first component of
--       the permutation.
--     * There is never an effect parsed following the last component of the
--       permutation.
--     * No effects are intercalated between missing components with a
--       default value.
