No, just in (presumably ASCII) text that someone might want to parse
into a Python object. Like a JCAMP-DX file [1] if there was not
already a JCAMP-DX parser on PyPI [2].

Text is only useful for my immediate purpose because I want to show it
on a slide. However, Parsita can be used to write parsers for byte
strings as well.
