/*
 The intention behind this is to ease the writing of dissectors that have to
 parse text without the need of writing into buffers.
 
 It was originally written to avoid using lex and yacc for the xml dissector.
 
 the parser is able to look for wanted elements these can be:
 
 simple tokens:
 - a char out of a string of needles
 - a char not belonging to a string of needles
 - a sequence of chars that belong to a set of chars
 - a sequence of chars that do not belong to a set of chars
 - a string
 - a caseless string
 - all the characters up to a certain wanted element (included or excluded)
 
 composed elements:
 - one of a given group of wanted elements
 - a sequence of wanted elements
 - some (at least one) instances of a wanted element
 
 Once a wanted element is successfully extracted, by either tvbparse_get or
 tvbparse_find, the parser will invoke a given callback
 before and another one after every of its component's subelement's callbacks
 are being called.
 
 If tvbparse_get or tvbparse_find fail to extract the wanted element the
 subelements callbacks are not going to be invoked.
 
 The wanted elements are instantiated once by the proto_register_xxx function.
 
 The parser is instantiated for every packet and it maintains its state.
 
 The element's data is destroyed before the next packet is dissected.
