/** A list of parameters in an HTTP extension field value.

    This container allows iteration of the parameter list in an HTTP
    extension. The parameter list is a series of name/value pairs
    with each pair starting with a semicolon. The value is optional.

    If a parsing error is encountered while iterating the string,
    the behavior of the container will be as if a string containing
    only characters up to but excluding the first invalid character
    was used to construct the list.

        param-list  = *( OWS ";" OWS param )
        param       = token OWS [ "=" OWS ( token / quoted-string ) ]
    @endcode

    To use this class, construct with the string to be parsed and
    then use @ref begin and @ref end, or range-for to iterate each
    item:

    @par Example
    @code
    for(auto const& param : param_list{";level=9;no_context_takeover;bits=15"})
    {
