-combinators, but there are times when one might need more control. For
-those times, the most raw way to define a parser is using `Parsby.new`.

-```ruby
-define_combinator :lit, wrap: false do |e, case_sensitive: true|
-  Parsby.new do |c|
-    a = c.bio.read e.length
-    if case_sensitive ? a == e : a.to_s.downcase == e.downcase
-      a
-    else
-      raise ExpectationFailed.new c
-    end
-  end
-end
+#=> "unknown"
 ```
 
-It takes a string argument for what it `e`xpects to parse, and returns what
-was `a`ctually parsed if it matches the expectation.
-
-The block parameter `c` is a `Parsby::Context`. `c.bio` holds a
-`Parsby::BackedIO`. The `parse` method of `Parsby` objects accepts ideally
-any `IO` (and `String`s, which it turns into `StringIO`) and then wraps
-them with `BackedIO` to give the `IO` the ability to backtrack.
