     * Parse an adblock rule. You can pass any kind of rule to this method, since it will automatically determine
     * the category and syntax. If the rule is syntactically invalid, then an error will be thrown. If the
     * syntax / compatibility cannot be determined clearly, then the value of the `syntax` property will be
     * `Common`.
     *
     * For example, let's have this network rule:
     * ```adblock
     * ||example.org^$important
     * ```
     * The `syntax` property will be `Common`, since the rule is syntactically correct in every adblockers, but we
     * cannot determine at parsing level whether `important` is an existing option or not, nor if it exists, then
     * which adblocker supports it. This is why the `syntax` property is simply `Common` at this point.
     * The concrete COMPATIBILITY of the rule will be determined later, in a different, higher-level layer, called
     * "Compatibility table".
     *
     * But we can determinate the concrete syntax of this rule:
     * ```adblock
     * example.org#%#//scriptlet("scriptlet0", "arg0")
     * ```
     * since it is clearly an AdGuard-specific rule and no other adblockers uses this syntax natively. However, we also
     * cannot determine the COMPATIBILITY of this rule, as it is not clear at this point whether the `scriptlet0`
     * scriptlet is supported by AdGuard or not. This is also the task of the "Compatibility table". Here, we simply
     * mark the rule with the `AdGuard` syntax in this case.
     *
     * @param raw Raw input to parse.
     * @param options Global parser options.
     * @param baseOffset Starting offset of the input. Node locations are calculated relative to this offset.
     * @returns Adblock rule node
     * @throws If the input matches a pattern but syntactically invalid
     * @example
     * Take a look at the following example:
     * ```js
     * // Parse a network rule
     * const ast1 = RuleParser.parse("||example.org^$important");
     *
     * // Parse another network rule
     * const ast2 = RuleParser.parse("/ads.js^$important,third-party,domain=example.org|~example.com");
     *
     * // Parse a cosmetic rule
     * const ast2 = RuleParser.parse("example.org##.banner");
     *
     * // Parse another cosmetic rule
     * const ast3 = RuleParser.parse("example.org#?#.banner:-abp-has(.ad)");
     *
     * // Parse a comment rule
     * const ast4 = RuleParser.parse("! Comment");
     *
     * // Parse an empty rule
     * const ast5 = RuleParser.parse("");
     *
     * // Parse a comment rule (with metadata)
     * const ast6 = RuleParser.parse("! Title: Example");
     *
     * // Parse a pre-processor rule
     * const ast7 = RuleParser.parse("!#if (adguard)");
     * ```
