+ *   str("!"),
+ *   spaces,

+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * {
+ *   name: "Adit",
+ *   secondPart: "How was your day?"
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Now, suppose you decide to refactor this parser into two parsers:
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const firstPart = seqC(
+ *   str("hello"),
+ *   spaces,
+ *   capture(word, "name"),

+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const greeting = seqC(
+ *   firstPart,
+ *   secondPart
+ * )
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, this will no longer return an object in that shape,
+ * because it's not actually capturing anything. Captures in `firstPart`
+ * and `secondPart` won't get propagated up. Suppose you try to use `capture` like this:
+ * ```ts
+ * const greeting = seqC(
+ *   capture(firstPart, "firstPart"),

+ *   secondPart: {
+ *     secondPart: "How was your day?"
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * What you want is for the captures in the child parsers to get merged up to the parent parser. For that, use `captureCaptures`:
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const greeting = seqC(
+ *   captureCaptures(firstPart),
