[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] new version of uu-parsinglib

[S. Doaitse Swierstra]

Version 2.7.0 was uploaded to hackage. 

From the CHANGELOG:

Version 2.7.0
Improvement: change of error correction at end of amb (which deals with ambiguous parsers) combinator; available lookahead is better taken into account

Relatively large change:
	• Change to Data.ListLike inputs, so a general stream input structure is possible; hence we can now parse all instances from Data.ListLike
	• Simplified and generalised implementation of merging/permuting parsers; any kind of parsers can now be merged/permuted
	• New class IsParser was introduced which captures the basic properties of our parsers, thus simplifying the types
	• Inclusion of a module Text.ParserCombinators.UU.Utils containing common Char based parsers 
	• Removal of the class Provides, and replaced by separate pSym, pSatisfy and pRange; this may require some rewriting of existing parsers. 
          Readability is supposed to improve from that. Types become simpler. For an example see the module Text.ParserCombinators.UU.Utils.
	• Included a Demo directory, with one module for demonstrating normal parsers and one aimed at showing merging parsers
	• Added the module Text.ParserCombinaors.UU.Idioms, which contains specialised version for the idiomatic notation; 
          it infers the sequental composition operators from the types of the operands; 
          String-s and Char-s are not supposed to contribute to the result (hence <*), function parameters are lifted using `pure`, and normal parsers are composed with `<*>`.
	• Many other small changes, mostly upwards compatible or invisible (code cleanup)
