//  escape_char_action class
//
//      Links an escape char parser with a user defined semantic action.
//      The semantic action may be a function or a functor. A function
//      should be compatible with the interface:
//
//          void f(CharT ch);
//
//      A functor should have a member operator() with a compatible signature
//      as above. The matching character is passed into the function/functor.
//      This is the default class that character parsers use when dealing with
//      the construct:
//
//          p[f]
//
//      where p is a parser and f is a function or functor.

//
//  escape_char_parser class
//
//      The escape_char_parser helps in conjunction with the escape_char_action
//      template class (see above) in parsing escaped characters. There are two
//      different variants of this parser: one for parsing C style escaped
//      characters and one for parsing LEX style escaped characters.
//
//      The C style escaped character parser is generated, when the template
//      parameter 'Flags' is equal to 'c_escapes' (a constant defined in the
//      file impl/escape_char.ipp). This parser recognizes all valid C escape
//      character sequences: '\t', '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\"', '\'', '\\'
//      and the numeric style escapes '\120' (octal) and '\x2f' (hexadecimal)
//      and converts these to their character equivalent, for instance the
//      sequence of a backslash and a 'b' is parsed as the character '\b'.
//      All other escaped characters are rejected by this parser.
//
//      The LEX style escaped character parser is generated, when the template
//      parameter 'Flags' is equal to 'lex_escapes' (a constant defined in the
//      file impl/escape_char.ipp). This parser recognizes all the C style
//      escaped character sequences (as described above) and additionally
//      does not reject all other escape sequences. All not mentioned escape
//      sequences are converted by the parser to the plain character, for
//      instance '\a' will be parsed as 'a'.
//
//      All not escaped characters are parsed without modification.
