Function nom::multi::many_till

pub fn many_till<I, O, P, E, F, G>(
    f: F,
    g: G
) -> impl FnMut(I) -> IResult<I, (Vec<O>, P), E>
where
    I: Clone + InputLength,
    F: Parser<I, O, E>,
    G: Parser<I, P, E>,
    E: ParseError<I>,

Applies the parser f until the parser g produces a result.

Returns a tuple of the results of f in a Vec and the result of g.

f keeps going so long as g produces Err::Error. To instead chain an error up, see cut.
