Description
I got nerd-sniped by #835, and wanted to try out a regex-less implementation of the identifier matching algorithm. I've implemented a stateful streaming Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for the identifier matching and then a stateful matcher for the content. Those could have been trivially combined, but I opted to keep them separate to 1) keep the concerns more cleanly separate and 2) to have the building blocks available in case we need to do a simple substring search in the stream without extracting some content between the identifiers.
While I think this approach is slightly more readable and should (theoretically) be more performant, I don't believe we should try and get it in before the code freeze as it's not fixing an actual bug.
