+LPegLabel is an extension of the LPeg library that provides an implementation of Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) with labeled failures. 
+
+Labels can be used to signal different kinds of erros and to specify which alternative in a labeled ordered choice should handle a given label. 
+
+Labels can also be combined with the standard patterns of LPeg.
