* Alternate versions of parser types, attempting to plug a space leak.
The space leak is similar to one identified and fixed in the Parsec paper.
Essentially, in earlier versions, `commit' stopped backtracking, but
failed to prune any reference to the input token stream still held by
a choice point. These new versions turn 'commit' into a lazy
constructor that can be spotted by the choice point, thus pruning the
unneeded input reference whilst we still do not know the parse outcome.
