Makes a function from a parser combination

The type can be set up if the compiler needs more information

named!(my_function( &[u8] ) -> &[u8], tag!("abcd"));
// first type parameter is input, second is output
named!(my_function<&[u8], &[u8]>,     tag!("abcd"));
// will have &[u8] as input type, &[u8] as output type
named!(my_function,                   tag!("abcd"));
// will use &[u8] as input type (use this if the compiler
// complains about lifetime issues
named!(my_function<&[u8]>,            tag!("abcd"));
//prefix them with 'pub' to make the functions public
named!(pub my_function,               tag!("abcd"));
