+ * A driver that only needs to know *that* a parser failed (it tries
+ * another, or skips a character) can pass `{ diagnostics: false }` to skip
+ * the interpreted re-run; see {@link RunOptions}.
+ *
+ * Compiled code records no hints or furthest failure when it succeeds, so
+ * a later failure on the same state can list fewer expectations than one
+ * after interpreted runs would: reset the state between runs (as above) and
+ * its errors are the ones {@link parse} reports. Deep nesting fails with an
+ * unrecoverable `TooDeep` failure instead of throwing, as in the other
+ * runners.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * import { Ascii, Compiler, Input, Parser, Token } from "@thomasfosterau/effect-parse"
+ *
+ * const token = Compiler.jit(Parser.preceded(Ascii.space0, Parser.alt(Ascii.alpha1, Token.oneOf("+-"))))
+ *
+ * const tokens = (text: string): Array<string> => {
+ *   const state = new Input.State(text)
+ *   const out: Array<string> = []
+ *   while (state.pos < state.end) {
+ *     const t = Parser.run(token, state.reset(state.pos))
+ *     if (t === Input.Fail) break
+ *     out.push(t)
+ *   }
+ *   return out
+ * }
+ *
+ * tokens("a + b") // ["a", "+", "b"]
