[para] Note here that the Parser Tools are based on Tcl 8.5+. In other words, the channel argument is not restricted to files, sockets, etc. We have the full power of [term {reflected channels}] available. [para] It should also be noted that the parser pulls the characters from the input stream as it needs them. If a parser created by this package has to be operated in a push aka event-driven manner it will be necessary to go to Tcl 8.6+ and use the [package coroutine::auto] to wrap it into a coroutine where [cmd read] is properly changed for push-operation.
