New issue 3016 by [email protected]: Rewrite the V8 parser
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3016

What we want from the new parser:
- needs to be able to parse utf8
- needs to be able to start parsing data before everything has arrived from the net

The work is ongoing in this branch:
https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse#svn%2Fbranches%2Fexperimental%2Fparser

in src/lexer and tools/lexer_generator.

Happened so far:
- We've experimented with generating a lexer with re2c and now we're experimenting with writing our own regex -> lexer engine. (dcarney, ulan, marja)
- API changes are under discussion (mstarzinger et al)
- moving parts which need to access the Isolate as late as possible in the parsing (so that the parsing can be done in a non-main thread) (mstarzinger)
