/** This object contains implicit conversions that come in handy when using the `^^` combinator.
 *
 *  Refer to [[scala.util.parsing.combinator.Parsers]] to construct an AST from the concrete syntax.
 *
 * The reason for this is that the sequential composition combinator (`~`) combines its constituents
 * into a ~. When several `~`s are combined, this results in nested `~`s (to the left).
 * The `flatten*` coercions makes it easy to apply an `n`-argument function to a nested `~` of
 * depth `n-1`
 *
 * The `headOptionTailToFunList` converts a function that takes a `List[A]` to a function that
 * accepts a `~[A, Option[List[A]]]` (this happens when parsing something of the following
 * shape: `p ~ opt("." ~ repsep(p, "."))` -- where `p` is a parser that yields an `A`).
