At the moment this doesn’t change anything because all places that call `eat` have previous checks that make sure the parser is currently positioned at the expected token. In the future, this will allow us to start parsing functions that `eat` a token at a different token and this function is responsible for eating all intermediate tokens until the expected one.
This was referenced Sep 8, 2022
Use one of the following alternatives instead: - `expect` (mostly at start of productions) - `consume(if:)` where this paradigm is applicable - `consume(if:followedBy:)` to consume two tokens at once - A new `at(anyIn:)` paradigm that allows the parser to check if it is currently positioned at a known token kind, which can be exhausitively switched. If this is the case, the token can be safely consumed using a handle. - This function might seem overly complicated at the moment but it should allow us to later switch to a similar function that also does recovery.
This makes it easier to call it from other functions and forward the expected token kinds.
