I prefer that the "old" parser not be removed, because there are many
files that can only be parsed by the old parser. This came out in a
large scale test with TIKA.
The best idea (in my current opinion) is to use the nonSeq parser first,
and the old parser if there is an exception.

- Parsing (Andreas?)
I guess we won't get a complete new parser in 2.0, but I try to
improve the XRef
and the COSStream stuff
It would be great if we could get rid of the old parser and switch to
the non-sequential
parser, WDYT?
I would also propose to completely remove the old parser. That way we
are more flexible in parsing streams etc. since parts of the
non-sequential parser are a compromise to work side-by-side with the
old parser.
Possibly there are a small number of functions for which the old
parser is still needed - e.g. signing?
Best,
Timo
