Parser Driver

The parser driver component is responsible for orchestrating the entire action of the parser. It handles the following duties:

1. Consuming input text using a provided reader in a lazy fashion.
2. Lexing and then parsing the input text.
3. Writing the output AST to the client of the parser.

The parser is going to be employed in two contexts, both running in-process:

1. In the IDE codebase as a rust dependency.
2. In the engine as a native code dependency used via JNI.
