     * Creates a parser object whose rule creation methods can then be used
     * with one of the {@link ParseRunner} implementations.
     * Since parboiled needs to extend your parser with certain extra logic
     * (e.g. to prevent infinite recursions in recursive rule definitions) you
     * cannot create your parser object yourself, but have to go through this
     * method. Also your parser class has to be derived from {@link BaseParser}.
     * If you want to use a non-default constructor you can provide its
     * arguments to this method. Make sure your non-default constructor does not
     * use primitive type parameters (like "int") but rather their boxed
     * counterparts (like "Integer"), otherwise the constructor will not be
     * found.
     * Performing the rule analysis and extending the parser class is an
     * expensive process (time-wise) and can take up to several hundred
     * milliseconds for large grammars. However, this cost is only incurred once
     * per parser class and class loader. Subsequent calls to this method are
     * therefore fast once the initial extension has been performed.
