[#one_char]
[section one_char]
[h1 Synopsis]
struct one_char;
This is a [link parser parser].
[h1 Description]
`one_char` accepts one character. The result of parsing is the accepted
character. It fails for empty input.
[h1 Header]
#include <boost/metaparse/one_char.hpp>
[h1 Expression semantics]
For any `s` non-empty compile-time string and `pos` source position the
following are equivalent
get_result<one_char::apply<s, pos>>
boost::mpl::front<s>
get_remaining<one_char::apply<s, pos>>
boost::mpl::pop_front<s>
The value of `get_position<one_char::apply<s, pos>>` depends on the first
character of the sequence and the value of the one parsed before that (which is
stored in the source position). `one_char` updates the source position's `col`
and `line` values based on the new line characters. It detects Linux (`\n`),
Windows (`\r\n`) and Mac (`\r`) line endings.
`one_char::apply<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING(""), pos>` returns an error for every
`pos` source position.

"it should return an error for empty input"
