/** <module> Various general DCG utilities

This library provides various commonly  used   DCG  primitives acting on
list  of  character  *codes*.  Character   classification  is  based  on
code_type/2.

This module started its life as  library(http/dcg_basics) to support the
HTTP protocol. Since then, it was increasingly  used in code that has no
relation to HTTP and therefore  this  library   was  moved  to  the core
library.

@tbd	This is just a starting point. We need a comprehensive set of
	generally useful DCG primitives.

%%	string_without(+EndCodes, -Codes)// is det.
%
%	Take as many codes from the input  until the next character code
%	appears in the list EndCodes.  The   terminating  code itself is
%	left on the input.  Typical  use  is   to  read  upto  a defined
%	delimiter such as a newline  or   other  reserved character. For
%	example:
%
%	    ==
%	        ...,
%	        string_without("\n", RestOfLine)
%	    ==
%
%	@arg EndCodes is a list of character codes.

%%	string(-Codes)// is nondet.
%
%	Take as few as possible tokens from the input, taking one more
%	each time on backtracking. This code is normally followed by a
%	test for a delimiter.  For example:

%	  R = [66].
%	  ?- alpha_to_lower(C, `AB`, R).
%	  C = 97, R = [66].
