What is the relationship between the "Parsec API", Applicative and Alternative? Is the only point of overlap `<|>`?

Lots of functions in Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Combinator can be defined with only with an obligation on Applicative and no need to access the token stream, parser state. etc. No surprise of course, as the equivalents were available in UU parsing.

Is UU parsing more "Applicative aware", then? When you say "obligation", what do you mean? -- Jason Dusek
