Request for adding parser combinator "zero"

Description

The library would benefit from having a parser combinator that succeeds if the parser given as a parameter fails. As far as I can tell, the implementation would be:

(define (zero parser)

(lambda (in)

(let-values

(((v in) ((literal parser) in)))
((if (failed? v) (return '()) fail) in))))
