While working on making the parser multi-threaded compatible, I
was able to seperate the part that feeds data, and the part that
parses data.
Long story short, the parser operates on an input range of
ubyte[]: It is not responsible any more for acquisition of data.
The range can be a simple (wrapped) File, a byChunk, an
asynchroneus file reader, or a zip decompresser, or just stdin I
guess. Range can be transient.
However, now that you mention it, I'll make sure it is correctly
supported.
I'll *try* to show you what I have so far tomorow (in about 18h).
