The review hasn't yet started and I'm already against the "stream"
parser, because it hardly deserves the names parser, it's more like a lexer.

Because the benchmark code by tcha was a very specific hack for the used
data structure, I tried to write a proper stream parser to have a fair
comparison. This is where I stopped (it doesn't work).

The biggest problem with that interface is, that you have to count
matching start/end markers for objects and arrays in order to skip an
entry, not much fun and definitely needs a dedicated skip value function.

There are 2 very nice alternative approaches in the benchmark repo.
