Hello Tom,

Combinator parsers were an obsession of mine a few years ago. I really liked the approach but eventually always ended up writing LL(k) parsers (xmlm, jsonm) by hand which so far has been the only "technology" that allows me to give the best error messages/correction, to handle asynchronous IO, and to remain reasonably efficient. 

Could you maybe comment on these points:  

* What's the error handling strategy ? Is there support for error correction ? 
* Is there support for non-blocking parsing (asynchronous IO) ? 

Best,

Daniel
