I'm only just starting to learn the Parsec library, and I was wondering if there is any primitive in the library that can do the following: given a parser let a = char 'a', and a string aaab, would return Right ['a', 'a', 'a'], with "b" remaining, i.e., would parse as much as it can, but no more. I feel this is so necessary that it has to exist in some form or another in the library.
You want to use many a, which will parse as many a's as it can.
