[ragel-users] Problem: Change state only when a new input is received

[Adrian Thurston]

Hi Aditi,

For this task don't use the "noend" write option. Set the alphabet type
to int and when an integer arrives set p to point it and set pe to (p +
1). Also, make sure you separate out the init code so it is invoked only
once before you start reading input.

I've always wanted to add a "one-at-a-time" option to write which would
eliminate the unnecessary loop over the single character but never got
around to it.
