/*
 * Parser for files that are similar to UnicodeData.txt:
 * This function opens the file and reads it line by line. It skips empty lines
 * and comment lines that start with a '#'.
 * All other lines are separated into fields with one delimiter character
 * (semicolon for Unicode Properties files) between two fields. The last field in
 * a line does not need to be terminated with a delimiter.
 *
 * For each line, after segmenting it, a line function is called.
 * It gets passed the array of field start and limit pointers that is
 * passed into this parser and filled by it for each line.
 * For each field i of the line, the start pointer in fields[i][0]
 * points to the beginning of the field, while the limit pointer in fields[i][1]
 * points behind the field, i.e., to the delimiter or the line end.
 *
 * The context parameter of the line function is
 * the same as the one for the parse function.
 *
 * The line function may modify the contents of the fields including the
 * limit characters.
 *
 * If the file cannot be opened, or there is a parsing error or a field function
 * sets *pErrorCode, then the parser returns with *pErrorCode set to an error code.
