##' Create a parser to parse text matching a literal string.
##'
##' This function creates a parser that accepts input that matches a
##' given string.
##'
##' The `tag` argument should either be a string naming the class
##' of the result, or a function that constructs a object representing
##' the result of the parse, given the matched literal string.
##'
##' @title Create a Primitive Parser from a Regex
##' @param tag a class name or a function of a single argument that
##'   constructs an object representing the result of the parse.
##' @param string The string literal to match.
##' @return Returns a parser.

##' Create a parser to parse text matching a regular expression.
##'
##' This function creates a parser that accepts input that matches a
##' regular expression.
##'
##' The regex defining a match will usually begin with the "^"
##' beginning of string anchor.
##'
##' The `tag` argument should either be a string naming the class
##' of the result, or a function that constructs a object representing
##' the result of the parse, given the first row of the character
##' matrix returned by \code{stri_match_first_regex}.
##'
##' @title Create a Primitive Parser from a Regex
##' @param tag a class name or a function of a single argument that
##'   constructs an object representing the result of the parse.
##' @param regex A regular expression that defines the text to be parsed.
##' @return Returns a parser.
