+Cut operator
+------------
+
+`↑` operator could mitigate backtrack performance problem, but has a risk to change the meaning of grammar.
+
+```peg
+S <- '(' ↑ P ')' / '"' ↑ P '"' / P
+P <- 'a' / 'b' / 'c'
+```
+
+When we parse `(z` with the above grammar, we don't have to backtrack in `S` after `(` is matched because a cut operator is inserted there.
