[h1 Synopsis]

  template <class P, class StateP, class ForwardOp>
  struct foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser;

This is a [link parser_combinator parser combinator].

[table Arguments
  [[Name]         [Type]]
  [[`P`]          [[link parser parser]]]
  [[`StateP`]     [[link parser parser]]]
  [[`ForwardOp`]  [[link metafunction_class template metafunction class] taking two arguments]]
]

[h1 Description]

The same as [link foldl_start_with_parser `foldl_start_with_parser`], but once
`P` rejects the input, `foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser` checks if `P`
consumes any characters before rejecting the input. If so,
`foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser` rejects the input with the same
error message this last application of `P` returned. Otherwise
`foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser` accepts the input and gives the same
result as [link foldl_start_with_parser `foldl_start_with_parser`].

Here is a diagram showing how `foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser` works
by example:

  using int_token = token<int_>;
  using plus_token = token<lit_c<'+'>>;
  using plus_int = last_of<plus_token, int_token>;
  using sum_op = mpl::lambda<mpl::plus<mpl::_1, mpl::_2>>::type;

[h1 Header]

  #include <boost/metaparse/foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser.hpp>

[h1 Expression semantics]

For any `p` parser, `pt` class, `f` metafunction class taking two arguments,
`s` compile-time string and `pos` source position

  foldl_reject_incomplete_start_with_parser<p, pt, f>::apply<s, pos>

is equivalent to

  first_of<
    foldl_start_with_parser<p, pt, f>,
    fail_at_first_char_expected<p>
  >::apply<s, pos>
