OK, nothing noticeable there.
"accept" is a common utility I've used in the past with parsers of
this kind, but inlining it seems perfectly reasonable.
I've reviewed these patches and Robert's, and they seem basically good to me.
But I don't think src/bin is the right place for the test program. I
assume we're not going to ship this program, so it really belongs in
src/test somewhere, I think. It should also have a TAP test.
