Nah, it's just the other way around. The data is in a malloc buffer,
and needs to be parsed by YY_PARSER. Previously one could write a
wrapper where data was picked up from such buffer. Now Gobo requires
that it is in a SPECIAL or descendant.

So I'm just trying to see if I can skip this copy or make it faster.
