+  # `Map` is a `Parser` that tries to parse using another parser,
+  # and then changing the result of that parser to a different value.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  # ```
+  # # Where `Digits` is some parser that returns an array of digit characters
+  # parse_i32 = Digits.new.map { |x| x.join.to_i32 }
+  # result = parse_i32.parse(Tokens.from_string("1234"))
+  # result.value # => 1234 (Int32)
+  # ```
+  class Map(T, V, U) < Parser(T, U)
+    # Accepts the parser to use and the function to apply to the result.
