many : ('a -> 'b * 'a) -> 'a -> 'b list * 'a

SYNOPSIS
Parses zero or more successive items using given parser.

DESCRIPTION
If p is a parser then many p gives a new parser that parses a series of successive items using p and returns the result as a list, with the expected left-to-right order.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
The immediate call many never fails. The resulting parser may fail when applied, though any Noparse exception in the core parser will be trapped.

COMMENTS
This is one of a suite of combinators for manipulating ``parsers''. A parser is simply a function whose OCaml type is some instance of :('a)list -> 'b * ('a)list. The function should take a list of objects of type :'a (e.g. characters or tokens), parse as much of it as possible from left to right, and return a pair consisting of the object derived from parsing (e.g. a term or a special syntax tree) and the list of elements that were not processed.
