/**
 * A parser for propositional formulas.
 * 
 * The syntax for propositional formulas in LogicNG is:
 * 

 * {@code $true} for the constant TRUE
 * {@code $false} for the constant FALSE
 * {@code ~} for the negation
 * {@code |} for the disjunction (OR)
 * {@code &} for the conjunction (AND)
 * {@code =>} for the implication
 * {@code <=>} for the equivalence
 * 
 * Brackets are {@code (} and {@code )}.  For variable names, there are the following rules:
 * 
 * must begin with a alphabetic character, {@code _}, {@code @}, or {@code #}
 * can only contain alphanumerical character, {@code _}, or {@code #}
 * {@code @} is only allowed at the beginning of the variable name and is reserved for special internal variables
 * 
 * @version 2.4.1
 * @since 1.0
