Actually, since `floating` is used for toml::types, `as_floating`
seems to be clearer. But currently `is_*` functions uses `float`,
not `floating`, so `as_float` is chosen for the consistency.
In a future release, possibly v3, those names may need to be
re-considered for clarity.
- comment_before(): get comments just before a value.
- comment_inline(): get a comment in the same line as a value.
- comment(): get comment_before() + comment_inline().
in some cases, `region` contains several lines and `region::size`
returns the whole size that is a sum of lengthes of all the lines.
To avoid too long underlines, restrict the length of underline by
the length of the line that is shown in the message.
when ""_toml literal is used with C++11 raw-string literal,
it normally starts with newline like the following.
```cpp
const auto v = u8R"(
[table]
key = "value"
)"_toml;
```
With this, the error message shows the first empty line that starts just
after `u8R"(` and thus the error message shows nothing. To avoid this,
skip the first empty lines and whitespaces in literal.
to avoid unncessary error message generation, check the first some
characters before parsing it. It makes parsing process faster and
is also helpful to generate more accurate error messages.
all the parsers generate error messages and error message generation is
not a lightweight task. It concatenates a lot of strings, it formats
many values, etc. To avoid useless error-message generation, first check
which prefix is used and then parse special integers. Additionally, by
checking that, the quality of the error message can be improved (later).
At the earlier stage of the development, I thought that it is useful if
lexer-combinators generate error messages, because by doing this,
parser would not need to generate an error message. But now it turned
out that to show an appropriate error message, parser need to generate
according to the context. And almost all the messages from lexer are
discarded. So I added another parameter to lexer-combinator to suppress
error message generation. In the future, we may want to remove messages
completely from lexers, but currently I will keep it. Removing those
unused message generation makes the parsing process faster.
