It's a bit funny, the motivation for a new Parser class came from the
success of simple regex + space munching in csv.py, but adopting Parser
in csv.py makes sense for a couple reasons:
- Consistency and better code sharing with other scripts that need to
parse things (stack.py, prettyasserts.py?).
- Should be more efficient, since we avoid copying the entire string
every time we chomp/slice.
Though I don't think this really matters for the size of csv.py's
exprs...
- No need to write every regex twice! Since Parser remembers the last
match.
