[crlf0710]

Hello, great work for nom!

I'm been repeatedly met with a problem, though. The alt combinator return the first succeeded result. so i have to carefully arrange the sub-parsers in a "reverse-dictionary order" to make the result correct what i wanted.

I wonder if we can make a special version of alt so it run all the sub-parsers and return the first version that ate the most data. That'll be slower, but it can be much more convenient.

Thanks!

moving this to miletone 9.0, that could be interesting to revisit now
