* All parser pipelines including tokenizer and DOM stuff are now constructed
from a 'recipe' data structure in a ParserPipelineFactory.
* All sub-pipelines of these can now be cached
* Event registrations to a pipeline are directly forwarded to the last
pipeline member to save relatively expensive event forwarding.
* Some APIs for on-demand expansion / format conversion of parameters from
parser functions are added:
param.to('tokens/expanded', cb)
param.to('text/wiki', cb) (this does not work yet)
All parameters are additionally wrapped into a Param object that provides
method for positional parameter naming (.named() or conversion to a dict
(.dict()).
* The async token transform manager is now separated from a frame object, with
the frame holding arguments, an on-demand expansion method and loop checks.
* Only keys of template parameters are now expanded. Parser functions or
template arguments trigger an expansion on-demand. This (unsurprisingly)
makes a big performance difference with typical switch-heavy template
systems.
* Return values from async transforms are no longer used in favor of plain
callbacks. This saves the complication of having to maintain two code paths.
A trick in transformTokens still avoids the construction of unneeded
TokenAccumulators.
* The results of template expansions are no longer buffered.
* 301 parser tests are passing
Known issues:
* Cosmetic cleanup remains to do
* Some parser functions do not support async expansions yet, and need to be
modified.

* Added an LRU cache (using the lru-cache node module) for tokenizer output
* Mutation of nested attributes now replaces the containers. A shallow copy of
tokens is sufficient to isolate token transformations. Need to investigate
if we can actually get away without isolation and re-transformation for most
ordinary tokens.

Explained in the README how to use npm to load the dependencies and run tests. Too bad about NODE_PATH...
Don't try to find parserTests.txt in assorted places--if it isn't present, fetch from gerrit. You can symlink from core if you're developing on both parsers, and the fetch script will not overwrite.
Use __dirname in parserTests.js to allow the script to run independent of current working directory.
