A comment on Parsing bitstreams with Nom.

This is very clever, and a great demonstration of how flexible and generic Nom is!

It's not quite as inspired, but I wrote a minimal bitstream cursor/parser from scratch in Rust a few months ago[1]. It's developed with LLVM bitstreams in mind, but the API itself is suitable for just about any bitstream.

I'm collecting a bit of a benchmark for rust bitstream libraries inside my own library[1], and I wasn't aware of yours, so I'll add it to the list this afternoon!

Awesome! I'll be interested to see how my (extremely naive) implementation stacks up.

Updated the benchmark with your implementation! You can see the results here: https://github.com/nickbabcock/bitter#comparison-to-other-li...
