Example

#include <boost/metaparse/keyword.hpp>
#include <boost/metaparse/string.hpp>
#include <boost/metaparse/start.hpp>
#include <boost/metaparse/get_result.hpp>
#include <boost/metaparse/is_error.hpp>

#include <type_traits>

using namespace boost::metaparse;

static_assert(
  get_result<
    keyword<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("for"), std::integral_constant<int, 13>>
      ::apply<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("for"), start>
  >::type::value == 13,
  "the result of parsing the keyword is keyword's second argument"
);

static_assert(
  is_error<
    keyword<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("for"), std::integral_constant<int, 13>>
      ::apply<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("if"), start>
  >::type::value,
  "a word other than the keyword is an error"
