Should a range-compliant aggregate type realizing a parser be

In general how should I reason about whether an aggregate type

I would say a struct.
Parser in dmd does even inherit from Lexer.
It seems to be a quirky design.
Especially for multi-threaded parsing you might want to have more
control over memory layout than classes usually give you.
