nextDelimiter

fun nextDelimiter(vararg delimiters: String = arrayOf(" ")): DelimiterResult?

• If there is nothing to read (isComplete == true), returns null
• If the delimiter is in the remaining string:
• consumes $x := everything before the delimiter, b>
• consumes the delimiter itself
• returns ($x, delimiter)
• If the delimiter is not in the remaining string:
• consumes $x := the remaining string
• returns ($x, null)

If multiple delimiters are provided, the first delimiter found in the remaining string is used (i.e. BFS).

If multiple delimiters match the input at the same position, the first one is used, so if the parser expects greedy behaviour, reverse-sort the delimiters by length before passing.
