While making the parser a library call is a bit of work and not an
immediate priority at the moment, are there other bits of native C code
that would be useful to you, Kshitij? Depending on the difficulty of
doing so, we can either work toward enabling them or put them on the
roadmap so as not to be forgotten.

In addition, for those items that cannot be immediately pulled out into
a C library function and wrapped for other languages, please try to
structure things in such a way that the any rewritten implementations
that are done because the C versions aren't available are isolated
so that when we do export them, we can drop the call to the C library
into place with relative ease.
