+"""Header value parser implementing various email-related RFC parsing rules.
+
+The parsing methods defined in this module implement various email related
+parsing rules.  Principal among them is RFC 5322, which is the followon
+to RFC 2822 and primarily a clarification of the former.  It also implements
+RFC 2047 encoded word decoding.
+
+RFC 5322 goes to considerable trouble to maintain backward compatibility with
+RFC 822 in the parse phase, while cleaning up the structure on the generation
+phase.  This parser supports correct RFC 5322 generation by tagging white space
+as folding white space only when folding is allowed in the non-obsolete rule
+sets.  Actually, the parser is even more generous when accepting input than RFC
+5322 mandates, following the spirit of Postel's Law, which RFC 5322 encourages.
+Where possible deviations from the standard are annotated on the 'defects'
+attribute of tokens that deviate.
+
+The general structure of the parser follows RFC 5322, and uses its terminology
+where there is a direct correspondence.  Where the implementation requires a
+somewhat different structure than that used by the formal grammar, new terms
+that mimic the closest existing terms are used.  Thus, it really helps to have
+a copy of RFC 5322 handy when studying this code.
+
+Input to the parser is a string that has already been unfolded according to
+RFC 5322 rules.  According to the RFC this unfolding is the very first step, and
+this parser leaves the unfolding step to a higher level message parser, which
+will have already detected the line breaks that need unfolding while
+determining the beginning and end of each header.
+
+The output of the parser is a TokenList object, which is a list subclass.  A
+TokenList is a recursive data structure.  The terminal nodes of the structure
+are Terminal objects, which are subclasses of str.  These do not correspond
+directly to terminal objects in the formal grammar, but are instead more
+practical higher level combinations of true terminals.
+
+All TokenList and Terminal objects have a 'value' attribute, which produces the
+semantically meaningful value of that part of the parse subtree.  The value of
+all whitespace tokens (no matter how many sub-tokens they may contain) is a
+single space, as per the RFC rules.  This includes 'CFWS', which is herein
+included in the general class of whitespace tokens.  There is one exception to
+the rule that whitespace tokens are collapsed into single spaces in values: in
+the value of a 'bare-quoted-string' (a quoted-string with no leading or
+trailing whitespace), any whitespace that appeared between the quotation marks
+is preserved in the returned value.  Note that in all Terminal strings quoted
+pairs are turned into their unquoted values.
+
+All TokenList and Terminal objects also have a string value, which attempts to
+be a "canonical" representation of the RFC-compliant form of the substring that
+produced the parsed subtree, including minimal use of quoted pair quoting.
+Whitespace runs are not collapsed.
+
+Comment tokens also have a 'content' attribute providing the string found
+between the parens (including any nested comments) with whitespace preserved.
+
+All TokenList and Terminal objects have a 'defects' attribute which is a
+possibly empty list all of the defects found while creating the token.  Defects
+may appear on any token in the tree, and a composite list of all defects in the
+subtree is available through the 'all_defects' attribute of any node.  (For
+Terminal notes x.defects == x.all_defects.)
+
+Each object in a parse tree is called a 'token', and each has a 'token_type'
+attribute that gives the name from the RFC 5322 grammar that it represents.
+Not all RFC 5322 nodes are produced, and there is one non-RFC 5322 node that
+may be produced: 'ptext'.  A 'ptext' is a string of printable ascii characters.
+It is returned in place of lists of (ctext/quoted-pair) and
+(qtext/quoted-pair).
+
+XXX: provide complete list of token types.
