-//! This is an NFA-based parser, which calls out to the main rust parser for named non-terminals
-//! (which it commits to fully when it hits one in a grammar). There's a set of current NFA threads
-//! and a set of next ones. Instead of NTs, we have a special case for Kleene star. The big-O, in
-//! pathological cases, is worse than traditional use of NFA or Earley parsing, but it's an easier
-//! fit for Macro-by-Example-style rules.
-//!
-//! (In order to prevent the pathological case, we'd need to lazily construct the resulting
-//! `NamedMatch`es at the very end. It'd be a pain, and require more memory to keep around old
-//! items, but it would also save overhead)
-//!
-//! We don't say this parser uses the Earley algorithm, because it's unnecessarily inaccurate.
-//! The macro parser restricts itself to the features of finite state automata. Earley parsers
-//! can be described as an extension of NFAs with completion rules, prediction rules, and recursion.
-//!
-//! Quick intro to how the parser works:
-//!
-//! A 'position' is a dot in the middle of a matcher, usually represented as a
-//! dot. For example `· a $( a )* a b` is a position, as is `a $( · a )* a b`.
-//!
-//! The parser walks through the input a character at a time, maintaining a list
-//! of threads consistent with the current position in the input string: `cur_items`.
-//!
-//! As it processes them, it fills up `eof_items` with threads that would be valid if
-//! the macro invocation is now over, `bb_items` with threads that are waiting on
-//! a Rust non-terminal like `$e:expr`, and `next_items` with threads that are waiting
-//! on a particular token. Most of the logic concerns moving the · through the
-//! repetitions indicated by Kleene stars. The rules for moving the · without
-//! consuming any input are called epsilon transitions. It only advances or calls
-//! out to the real Rust parser when no `cur_items` threads remain.
-//!
-//! Example:
-//!
-//! ```text, ignore
-//! Start parsing a a a a b against [· a $( a )* a b].
-//!
-//! Remaining input: a a a a b
-//! next: [· a $( a )* a b]
-//!
-//! - - - Advance over an a. - - -
-//!
-//! Remaining input: a a a b
-//! cur: [a · $( a )* a b]
-//! Descend/Skip (first item).
-//! next: [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* · a b].
-//!
-//! - - - Advance over an a. - - -
-//!
-//! Remaining input: a a b
-//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
-//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first item)
-//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
-//!
-//! - - - Advance over an a. - - - (this looks exactly like the last step)
-//!
-//! Remaining input: a b
-//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
-//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first item)
-//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
-//!
-//! - - - Advance over an a. - - - (this looks exactly like the last step)
-//!
-//! Remaining input: b
-//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
-//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first item)
-//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
