Description: Acmeist PEG Parser Framework
 Pegex is an Acmeist parser framework. It allows you to easily create parsers
 that will work equivalently in lots of programming languages! The inspiration
 for Pegex comes from the parsing engine upon which the postmodern programming
 language Perl 6 is based on. Pegex brings this beauty to the other
 *just*modern languages that have a normal regular expression engine
 available.
 .
 Pegex gets it name by combining Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG), with
 Regular Expessions (Regex). That's actually what Pegex does.
 .
 PEG is the cool new way to elegantly specify recursive descent grammars. The
 Perl 6 language is defined in terms of a self modifying PEG language called
 Perl 6 Rules. Regexes are familiar to programmers of most modern programming
 languages. Pegex defines a simple PEG syntax, where all the terminals are
 regexes. This means that Pegex can be quite fast and powerful.
 .
 Pegex attempts to be the simplest way to define new (or old) Domain Specific
 Languages (DSLs) that need to be used in several programming languages and
 environments. Things like JSON, YAML, Markdown etc. It also great for writing
 parsers/compilers that only need to work in one language.
