(* Module [Fstream]: functional streams *)
(* This module implement functional streams.
To be used with syntax [pa_fstream.cmo]. The syntax is:
- stream: [fstream [: ... :]]
- parser: [parser [ [: ... :] -> ... | ... ]]
Functional parsers are of type: [Fstream.t 'a -> option ('a * Fstream.t 'a)]
They have limited backtrack, i.e if a rule fails, the next rule is tested
with the initial stream; limited because when in case of a rule with two
consecutive symbols [a] and [b], if [b] fails, the rule fails: there is
no try with the next rule of [a].

type 'a t;;
(* The type of 'a functional streams *)
val from : (int -> 'a option) -> 'a t;;
(* [Fstream.from f] returns a stream built from the function [f].
To create a new stream element, the function [f] is called with
the current stream count. The user function [f] must return either
[Some <value>] for a value or [None] to specify the end of the
stream. *)
val of_list : 'a list -> 'a t;;
(* Return the stream holding the elements of the list in the same
order. *)
val of_string : string -> char t;;
(* Return the stream of the characters of the string parameter. *)
val of_channel : in_channel -> char t;;
(* Return the stream of the characters read from the input channel. *)
val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit;;
(* [Fstream.iter f s] scans the whole stream s, applying function [f]
in turn to each stream element encountered. *)
val next : 'a t -> ('a * 'a t) option;;
(* Return [Some (a, s)] where [a] is the first element of the stream
and [s] the remaining stream, or [None] if the stream is empty. *)
val empty : 'a t -> (unit * 'a t) option;;
(* Return [Some ((), s)] if the stream is empty where [s] is itself,
else [None] *)
val count : 'a t -> int;;
(* Return the current count of the stream elements, i.e. the number
of the stream elements discarded. *)
val count_unfrozen : 'a t -> int;;
(* Return the number of unfrozen elements in the beginning of the
stream; useful to determine the position of a parsing error (longuest
path). *)
