Retrograde
Pretty annoying interactively testing some parser code that needs ETX as part of its input... STX can be entered as CTRL+B in the terminal, fine, and ETX as CTRL+C ... which then immediately is interpreted as a break and terminates the process. 😬​

@Retrograde Might get to that point - so far making do with the GAL16V8 datasheet and the sources of GALasm :)
Progress: 100% test coverage of my UES Fuse codec 🤓

@mikkle Good stuff. Calling it a night on the hand-rolled JEDEC tokenizer as well, going to add the parser tomorrow, maybe.

(Should probably just have gone all in and used ANTLR.) 😅​
