Adds parsing text into a custom dataclass. It provides a new
`TextParser` dataclass to be inherited. This implements the `parse`
method, which combined with the parser functions, it can automatically
parse the value for each field.

This new utility will facilitate and simplify the parsing of complex
command outputs, while ensuring that the codebase does not get bloated
and stays flexible.

rules.
+
+    In order to enable text parsing in a dataclass, subclass it with 
:class:`TextParser`.
+
+    The provided `parse` method is a factory which parses the supplied text 
and creates an instance
+    with populated dataclass fields. This takes text as an argument and for 
each field in the
+    dataclass, the field's parser function is run against the whole text. The 
returned value is then
+    assigned to the field of the new instance. If the field does not have a 
parser function its
+    default value or factory is used instead. If no default is available 
either, an exception is
+    raised.
+
+    This class provides a selection of parser functions and a function to wrap 
parser functions with
+    generic functions. Parser functions are designed to be passed to the 
fields' metadata param. The
+    most commonly used parser function is expected to be the `find` method, 
which runs a regular
+    expression against the text to find matches.
+
+    Example:
+        The following example makes use of and demonstrates every parser 
function available:

+        ..code:: python
