This class is required to construct a TokenParser. It defines the various characteristics of the language to be
tokenised. Where a parameter can be either a Set[Char] or a Parsley object, prefer the Set where possible.
It will unlock a variety of faster intrinsic versions of the parsers, which will greatly improve tokenisation
performance! In addition, the Sets are one time converted to heavily optimised BitSets, though that has up to 8KB
memory usage associated but at least doubles the execution speed for that instruction. See parsley.Impl.

- Value Params
- caseSensitive
Is the language case-sensitive. I.e. is IF equivalent to if?
- commentEnd
For multi-line comments; how does the comment end? (If this or
commentEndis the empty string, multi-line comments are disabled)- commentLine
For single-line comments; how does the comment start? (This this is the empty string, single-line comments are disabled)
- commentStart
For multi-line comments; how does the comment start? (If this or
commentEndis the empty string, multi-line comments are disabled)- identLetter
What characters can an identifier in the language consist of after the starting character?
- identStart
What characters can an identifier in the language start with?
- keywords
What keywords does the language contain?
- nestedComments
Are multi-line comments allowed to be nested inside each other? E.g. If
{-and-}are opening and closing comments, is the following valid syntax:{-{-hello -}-}? Note in C this is not the case.- opLetter
What characters can an operator in the language consist of after the starting character?
- opStart
What characters can an operator in the language start with?
- operators
What operators does the language contain?
- space
