synopsis:            Syntax descriptions for unified parsing and pretty-printing.
description:
  'syntax' allows you to write a single syntax description and instantiate is both as a parser and a pretty printer.
  .
  The interface is based on a custom Functor\/Applicative\/Monad hierarchy, provided by the 'semi-iso' package. You fmap using
  a semi-isomorphism instead of function. A semi-isomorphism is a isomorphism that can fail in both directions, with slightly
  weakened laws. It is worth to note that @Iso@s and @Prism@s from 'lens' are valid semi-isomorphisms :)
  .
  Once you write a description you can, for example turn it into an Attoparsec parser.
  .
  See @syntax-example@ for an example, 'syntax-attoparsec' and 'syntax-pretty' for a parser/printer implementation.
  .
  The library was inspired by:
  .
  * Rendel, Tillmann, and Klaus Ostermann. "Invertible syntax descriptions: unifying parsing and pretty printing." ACM Sigplan Notices. Vol. 45. No. 11. ACM, 2010.
  .
  TODO:
  .
  * a printer library based on Text/ByteString builders (wrapping 'pretty' is inefficient and doesn't use any features of it),
  .
  * try to implement indentation and Haskell layout rule,
  .
  * combinators for binary data formats, vectors,
  .
  * implementation of do notation for SemiIsoMonad with QuasiQuoters.
