Adds a basic Pratt parser. Currently this is limited to binary infix operators. New operators can be defined with a pair of numbers representing the "binding power" of the operator. This pair determines the precedence of the operator and whether it should associate to the left or right. Adds an example which demonstrates this and how it compares to the "standard" BNF style approach which produces only right associating parsers.
Updates the api for passing infix operators to a Pratt parser.
Adds functionality for parsing prefix operators. Adds tests for postfix operators.
Adds functionality for parsing postfix operators. Adds tests for postfix operators.
Adds functionality for denoting scope in a Pratt parser. For example `1 * (2 + 3)` instead of `(1 * 2) + 3`.
Moves the example showcasing Pratt parser features into a separate file.
Adds more type parameters to generalize types for operators. This means operators can have types attached to them and are no longer required to be strings. Updates terminology from "map" to "acc" for 'accumulator'. This is a slightly more accurate description of how this function is meant to be used.
Adds an example of attaching types to operators when defining a Pratt parser.
Catches up pratt parser branch to main and updates to use the new parse result format.

Pratt style parsers for better operator precedence and associativity control.
Still needs API improvements.
