Thanks, but I was rather hoping for something that didn't involve so
much interpreted Lua; it's not that I'm worried about the size, but
performance is important here.

And I don't have LPEG.

I'm tending towards the compile-and-execute method right now, actually.
It's ugly, but it's also a reasonably trusted environment, and it would
let me combine it with some other code (for parsing numbers and booleans).
You're worried about me calling some weird C functions to do the whole string processing? I mean... yeah, sure, it's 2-pass, but still...
It's 100% string.find-powered. The time spent as "interpreted Lua" is tiny.
Correction: It's multi-pass. It does something like 5 passes through the string, I think...
