Well, since you're probably the /only/ user you can pretty much say
how it works ;) The original interface was designed so that you can
yield a list of results as you parse. I guess that, since you get the
remainder anyway, you can chain these together if you like anyway.

So, if I don't hear otherwise soon, I'll probably push a new version
of binary-strict later on today with the interface above.
