What's the problem backtracking through a file? Streams can have arbitrary positioning.
Alternatively, there must be a simple way to "wrap" a random access file stream with an array-like interface, right? Don't we have a class like that somewhere?
Like the reverse of <string-reader> and <byte-reader>?
I will definitely use the tokenizers, thanks.

What you are describing reminds me of the built-in nesting of parsers with the ebnf tokenizer : https://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-peg.ebnf.tokenizers.htmlNot sure if it's really applicable to your use case though.As for streams, aren't packrat parsers backtracking (with memoization)? So no?
