Because the lexer requires the entire input to work, you need to find
some point in your input stream where you can accumulate packets, then
you can use the standard constructors for in memory input streams and so
on, reset/rebuild the lexer/parser/tree parser combinations for each
'packet'. There is not continuous parsing at the moment, though I have
some ideas on how this might be done (it is not trivial).
