Simple tool, elegant interface!

In the context of large files, do you think you would like to extend it to a multi-threaded variant to fully exploit additional cores or will the overhead due to threading and memory bottlenecks not provide any advantage?

It's fully reentrant and thread safe atm. I haven't thought about multithreaded parsing & printing, though. Mostly it was intended as a quick tool to get data into the right format for testing or debugging or writing code.
