getting started on a deserializer
deserializing strings (ignoring null)
speed up hex escape parsing
support null strings
lay a little bit of infrastructure for parsing numbers
some more # parsing infrastructure
bytes & sbytes deserialize now
handle leading and trailing whitespace appropriately
shorts & ushorts deserialize now
ints & uints deserialize now
longs & ulongs deserialize now
comment correction
sort of implemented floating point, need to break down by actual type
floats, doubles, & decimals deserialize now
proper overflow detection; breaks a number of other things; stopgap commit
fix all number types in the face of overflows
minor code reorg; commenting; making byte parsing match other number types in pattern
expand floating point tests a little, guarantee some small number coverage
