Review Comment:
   It enforces the rule that the input be a camel cased string so that 
`format(parse(<input>)) == <input>` holds true. Not enforcing that rule would 
be a form of "loose" parsing, as opposed to the current strict logic which 
expects the user to know the case of the parsed string. Not enforcing this rule 
essentially makes this a pascal case parser, which already exists, and the API 
should let the user know that they're not using the correct ~parser~ Case for 
parsing.
   
   If we want to implement separate strict vs loose parsing then I'll give some 
more thought about how to expose that in a way that makes sense.
