Usually that requires the ReadNextToken call (whatever its name) to be 
async as well (whether that's via callbacks, futures, coroutines, or 
some other async framework).

Failing that, it would have to return some special error code that means 
"I need more input".

Usually (outside of a proper async framework) the caller pulling tokens 
from the parser is directly responsible for feeding it new input as well.
