# This makes me feel a little dirty.

# We need to refactor once smartyparse is rewritten to modify the same
# object continuously. Currently, smartyparse handles nested smartyparsers
# as their own independent unit, so you can't register a callback on the
# whole set of data. Which is a problem. Basically, nested SP's have no
# awareness of their surrounding file context, so you can't do a callback
# to pull in their context. So currently, you have to do it as a multi-pass
# thingajobber.

# This is a total hack-up job to bend the smartyparse library to my will,
# until such time as it can be rewritten to support more powerful callback
# syntax, and access to global pack_into data for nested smartyparsers,
# as well as some other issues. This isn't *exactly* a monkeypatch, but
# it's close enough that I'll go ahead and monkeypatch the definition of
# the word monkeypatch to suit my needs. In other news, the MetaPolice are
# coming for me, and I have no defense lawyer.
        
# Strategy for gratuitous duck-punching:
# 1. Declare a mutable caching object: []
# 2. Generate a caching callback on the fly, referencing that object
# 3. Register that callback on the fly as postpack on ghid, with modify=False
# 4. That callback appends the ghid's offset to the cache object
# 5. Register a second callback on the entire _control
# 6. That callback uses the offset to rewrite the hash with an actual hash
# 7. Rewrite signature using the length of the hash and the cached hash offset

# For other places this affects, search for "# Accommodate SP"
        
# This gets called postpack with modify=True on ['ghid'], referencing
# the _control object.
