This PR doesn't add any functionality, so I'll understand if you'd rather not take it. But I often found myself scrolling back and forth between sections of parser.py to look to see how a certain tag parser was called, and decided to try to make everything consistent.
The parse function now loops over the lines, checks for known tags, and always calls a parse function with these arguments:
line
lineno
data
state
strict
The parse functions accept all of the arguments as keywords, and if they don't need them, they don't act on them. All state / data updating logic is handled inside the parse functions.
I find that this makes the parse loop easier to think about, and it makes the process of adding support for new tags easier.
