/**
 * Parser that can build a predicate from a string representation. The underlying syntax is quite simple, and example is
 * shown below:
 * <p>
 * <code>
 * path["/MyPath"] or (method[value="POST"] and not headersPresent[value={Content-Type, "Content-Encoding"}, ignoreTrailer=true]
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * The following boolean operators are built in, listed in order or precedence:
 * - not
 * - and
 * - or
 * <p>
 * They work pretty much as you would expect them to. All other tokens are taken
 * to be predicate names. If the predicate does not require any parameters then the
 * brackets can be omitted, otherwise they are mandatory.
 * <p>
 * If a predicate is only being passed a single parameter then the parameter name can be omitted.
 * Strings can be enclosed in optional double or single quotations marks, and quotation marks can be escaped using
 * <code>\"</code>.
 * <p>
 * Array types are represented via a comma separated list of values enclosed in curly braces.
 * <p>
 * TODO: should we use antlr (or whatever) here? I don't really want an extra dependency just for this...
