                   Literal
Known Subclasses:

Token to exactly match a specified string.

Example:

   Literal('blah').parseString('blah')  # -> ['blah']
   Literal('blah').parseString('blahfooblah')  # -> ['blah']
   Literal('blah').parseString('bla')  # -> Exception: Expected "blah"

For case-insensitive matching, use CaselessLiteral.

For keyword matching (force word break before and after the matched string), use Keyword or CaselessKeyword.
