+* Rethink binparser. Maybe the default mode should be:
+	- there is a current offset
+	- you can move the cursor
+		- _goto()
+		- _align()
+	- you can read structs with "begin_struct (format) / end_struct()"
+		Or maybe just "set_format()" that would accept NULL?
+	-   when you are reading a struct, you can skip records with _index()
+	- you can read fields with get_string/get_uint by passing a name.
+	- you can read anonymous strings and uints by passing NULL for name
+		This is allowed even when not reading structs. Or maybe this
+		should be separate functions. Advantages:
+			- they can skip ahead, unlike fields accessors
+			- you can access specific types (8,16,32,64)
+			- there is no "name" field
+		Disadvantage:
+			- the field accesors would need renaming.
+				bin_parser_get_uint_field ()
+			  is not really that bad though.
+		Maybe begin_record() could return a structure you could
+		use to access that particular record? Would nicely solve
+		the problems with "goto" and "index". 
+			bin_record_get_uint();
+		What should begin/end be called? They will have different
+		objects passed. 
+			bin_parser_get_record (parser) -> record
+			bin_record_free (record);
+	- Maybe support for indirect strings? Ie., get_string() in elfparser
+	- This will require endianness to be a per-parser property. Which is
+	  probably just fine. Although d-bus actually has
+	  per-message endianness. Maybe there could be a settable
+	  "endianness" property.
+
+  Also need to add error checking.
