Beautiful work! I'm not even gonna wonder if any of it was AI-generated, because the code is clearly crafted meticulously by an experienced C engineer, very readable, and shorter than I expected.

So many parser combinators operate on bytes assuming ASCII input only. I'd be more interested in a parser combinator lib that has UTF-8 decoding already abstracted away, operating on `wchar_t`, or even polymorphic input stream element types.

Isn't working with the utf8 stream sufficient? Especially if you only have ASCII keywords/operators/brackets, I feel a ASCII parser should work with utf8 out of the box

Now all it needs is a parser in 'examples/' that parses EBNF grammars and emits a parser in terms of these combinators.
