Given that most of the parsers I deal with are lengthy recursive-descent 
parsers, I assumed that there would have been a distinct parser object 
that handled the lexing and parsing itself and furthermore that two 
parsers would want to be in two separate classes. Also, since the 
question was asked with the purpose of timing, I presumed that it was 
fairly large and complicated parsers that were being tested for the 
purpose of determining the more efficient one. As a logical consequence 
of these assumptions, I would have assumed that the natural way to 
implement this code is as objects, hence my surprise to not find it 
implemented in such a manner.

Of course, all of this relies on my assumptions being correct.
