It's unclear to me exactly how to mix the IO monad with Parsec. It doesn't really seem to be doable.
Not to mention that if hGetContents is used, the Handle has to be put into non-buffering mode, which means one syscall per character read. Terribly slow.
Does it? I didn't think so ...
strace seems to say yes. If buffering is used, it blocks on attempts to read more than is available. -- John
