what might be interesting is to make a version that works with slices of 
the file rather than ram. (make the current version into a template 
specialized on char[] and the new one on some new type?) That way only 
the parsed meta data needs to stay in ram. It would take a lot of games 
mapping stuff in and out of ram but it would be interesting to see if it 
could be done.
