We now define GenericLexer as a template to allow using it with UTF-16
strings. To keep existing users happy, the template is defined in the
Detail namespace. Then AK::GenericLexer is an alias for a char-based
view, and AK::Utf16GenericLexer is an alias for a char16-based view.
* Remove completely unused methods.
* Deduplicate methods that were overloaded with both StringView and
char const* parameters.
A future commit will templatize GenericLexer by char type. This patch
serves to make that a tiny bit easier.
A bunch of users used consume_specific with a constant ByteString
literal, which can be replaced by an allocation-free StringView literal.
The generic consume_while overload gains a requires clause so that
consume_specific("abc") causes a more understandable and actionable
error.
`consume_until(foo)` stops before foo, and so does
`ignore_until(Predicate)`, so let's make the other `ignore_until()`
overloads consistent with that so they're less confusing.
This parsing is already duplicated between LibJS and LibRegex, and will
shortly be needed in more places in those libraries. Move it to AK to
prevent further duplication.
This API will consume escaped Unicode code points of the form:
\\u{code point}
\\unnnn (where each n is a hexadecimal digit)
\\unnnn\\unnnn (where the two escaped values are a surrogate pair)
