Precedences
type Prec = Int
minPrec :: Prec
Precedence operations
lift :: ReadP a -> ReadPrec a
Lift a precedence-insensitive `ReadP` to a `ReadPrec`.
prec :: Prec -> ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a

`(prec n p)` checks whether the precedence context is less than or equal to `n`, and

- if not, fails
- if so, parses `p` in context `n`.

step :: ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a
Increases the precedence context by one.
reset :: ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a
Resets the precedence context to zero.
Other operations
All are based directly on their similarly-named `ReadP` counterparts.
get :: ReadPrec Char
Consumes and returns the next character. Fails if there is no input left.
look :: ReadPrec String
Look-ahead: returns the part of the input that is left, without consuming it.
(+++) :: ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a
Symmetric choice.
(<++) :: ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a -> ReadPrec a
Local, exclusive, left-biased choice: If left parser locally produces any result at all, then right parser is not used.
pfail :: ReadPrec a
Always fails.
choice :: [ReadPrec a] -> ReadPrec a
Combines all parsers in the specified list.
