reads package:ghc-lib-parser

equivalent to readsPrec with a precedence of 0.
A parser for a type a, represented as a function that takes a String and returns a list of possible parses as (a,String) pairs. Note that this kind of backtracking parser is very inefficient; reading a large structure may be quite slow (cf ReadP).
attempts to parse a value from the front of the string, returning a list of (parsed value, remaining string) pairs. If there is no successful parse, the returned list is empty. Derived instances of Read and Show satisfy the following: That is, readsPrec parses the string produced by showsPrec, and delivers the value that showsPrec started with.
Parse a string into a significand and exponent. A trivial example might be: ghci> readSignificandExponentPair "1E2" (1,2) In a more complex case we might return a exponent different than that which the user wrote. This is needed in order to use a Integer significand. ghci> readSignificandExponentPair "-1.11E5" (-111,3)
