I thought the whole *purpose* of the endBy combinator was to keep applying one parser until the other one succeeds?

I don't think this is a lookahead problem, but rather just a misreading of the spec of endBy. Here it is:

(endBy p sep) parses zero or more occurrences of p, seperated and ended by sep. Returns a list of values returned by p.

The key text is "seperated and ended by sep". Not just ended by.

...so then what does sepEndBy do?
