 *
 * commands_parser.c: hand-written parser to parse commands (commands are what
 * you bind on keys and what you can send to i3 using the IPC interface, like
 * 'move left' or 'workspace 4').
 *
 * We use a hand-written parser instead of lex/yacc because our commands are
 * easy for humans, not for computers. Thus, it’s quite hard to specify a
 * context-free grammar for the commands. A PEG grammar would be easier, but
 * there’s downsides to every PEG parser generator I have come accross so far.
 *
 * This parser is basically a state machine which looks for literals or strings
 * and can push either on a stack. After identifying a literal or string, it
 * will either transition to the current state, to a different state, or call a
 * function (like cmd_move()).
 *
 * Special care has been taken that error messages are useful and the code is
 * well testable (when compiled with -DTEST_PARSER it will output to stdout
 * instead of actually calling any function).
