I think so, as long as it runs on a "regular" LuaJIT. Even with
LPegLJ, I'm not completely out of the woods yet as I still need to add
handling for incremental parsing that may be happening in the middle
of an already parsed fragment instead of being at the end. In this
case having streaming API is not enough.

I like being able to yield from any handler (when using LPegLJ), which
gives me full control over parsing timing.
