Feature Request: Add branching parser combinator for exclude() and depend()

[evan0greenup]

Currently, there is alt().

For a parser a and another parser b, If we need logic which is: using applying parser b to the input, only if parser a success or in other case not success. (parser a does not consume input).

Adding this feature would be good.

If I'm understanding, you want a parser(a, b) that does one of

tuple((peek(a), b))
tuple((not(a), b))

I can't think of a time that I've needed them. I'd be interested to know more about your case that this is common that having this in a library would be helpful.
