RE: More formulotic thought

Yes the scanning of binary is done by the lexer.  The unique thing with 
Antlr though is that the lexer can do parsing.   Weird but true.

Here's a reference to it's binary parsing ability:

From most of my experience, most of your parsers are not setup to parse
binary directly.  I do know that in the lex/yacc (flex/bison for the gnu
people) that you can create your own lexer and have the parser itself call
it and antlr might have a similar capability.
