I'm inclined to say "no", especially if we assume a substitute will
(nearly always) be available.

Unless someone is hacking on the scanner directly it ought to be safe to
add "--disable-fastparser" to dns.scm temporarily during testing, then
remove it before submitting a patch. If it isn't then probably _that_ is
the bug to be fixed.
