Yes, it should be in-place. What makes you think it's not? :)

You can plug in your own parser class/instance as described in
the documentation. Note that you may (in your case, probably
will :-) ) be able to reuse some of the convenience methods of
the Parser base class. Let me know if any problems show up. If
possible, we should keep this subject on the list, so it may
end up as a reference for other people who need a custom parser.
