-
-   The parser object keeps track of a function pointer which represents the
-   current parse state.
-
-   Each time new bytes are presented, we call into the current state, which
-   recursively parses until all bytes in the given chunk are exhausted.
-
-   The parse state that terminates then saves its function pointer to be the
-   current state so that it can resume when more bytes are available.
-
-   It's expected that most optimizing compilers will turn this code into
-   a set of indirect jumps, and so not waste stack space. */
