-I don't know how to structure this yet, and I'll need some experimentation to
-decide. The idea is that there will be a readseeker that lives outside the
-parser calls, and there will be an immutable reader that refers to it and gets
-passed through them as part of the parser state. That immutable reader will
-also hold an offset from the start of the input, so when it reads, it will
-first seek to that point in the ReadSeeker. Thus a given reader can only read
-at a particular point in the input. It will return a new reader with an offset
-equal to the first readers offset plus the length of the read.
-
-For using SpotReader with an io.Reader source that is not an io.ReadSeeker,
-BufferedReadSeeker allows limited backward seeking. This will not work with
-unlimited lookahead/backtracking; its Seek method will return an error if
-the desired offset is before the start of the buffer.
