- The parser scans the input bytes in place instead of building a `[]rune`
copy of the document: every character that drives the grammar is ASCII and
the input is validated UTF-8 up front, so the conversion pass and its four
bytes per rune were pure overhead. Parsing a large array-of-tables document
runs about a fifth faster and allocates about half the memory.
