You want a "reversed" parser logic, where the input module calls the
lexer, which in turn calls the parser...?
An interesting idea, but perhaps a bit away from the main stream
development.


The simplest solution were a separate parser/lexer thread, which is
suspended in the fetch of the next token, as long as no further input is
available.
