parser.pause()

[pgte]

Added support for parser.pause() with the following semantics:

After a parser.pause(), no events should be emitted before the next parser.resume(), even if parser.write() is invoked.

Needed to slightly modify:

• parser.write(): to detect pauses and buffer the chunk if parser is paused.
• parser.resume(): to resume all the pending buffers that were written while paused.
• parser.pause(): to set the pausing state, to be detected in parser.write().

Added test test/pause.js that takes a large xml chunk, breaks it in pieces and:

• asserts that no event is emitted while paused.
• asserts that the order of all events is as expected.

Documented parser.pause in README.

Found this problem when .end() occurs while it's paused, will have to come back, sorry.

I'd like to pull this in, but it doesn't apply cleanly. would you mind rebasing onto the current master, and squash down to one or two commits?

Can we get this pull request accepted? I could really use parser.pause()

[lysdexia]

Anything happening with this? It would make my life complete.

[bslayton]

That's a bit humorous. parser.pause() = life complete. Sorry. Had to state the obviously cheesy.
