Problem

  • Handling Maybe values in the Parser monad is troublesome.
  • Even envMaybe mixes up variable-not-found-error with others,
    which makes the difference of Nothing and Left String
    obscure.

Solution

Change the error type of Parser a from just a String into
a dedicated error ADT ParseError.

NOTE

Problem
====

- Handling `Maybe` values in the `Parser` monad is troublesome.
- Even `envMaybe` mixes up variable-not-found-error with others,
  which makes the difference of `Nothing` and `Left String`
  obscure.

Solution
====

Change the error type of `Parser a` from just a `String` into
a dedicated error ADT `ParseError`.

NOTE
====

- Fix dmjio#30 as a bonus!
