Summary: Function to get XML_Memory_Handling_Suite

Initial Comment:
It is not a bug report, it is a feature request. What do 
you think of adding the function, that returns the pointer 
to XML_Memory_Handling_Suite for passed 
XML_Parser? It is necessary for me, I am developing an 
extension for Expat and I would like to use the same 
allocation/reallocation/free function as the current 
XML_Parser uses. Since XML_Parser struct defined 
inside .C-file, I can't get an access to 
XML_Memory_Handling_Suite struct for the parser. 
Please add this function, since it will be very simple.

Sincerely,
 Artyom Bolgar.

Of course, I know about this. But in my case, I use 
XML_Parser passed by user (and it is created by him), and I 
don't know how it was created, either by 
XML_ParserCreate_MM or not. That is why I requested this 
function.

Are you creating the parser using XML_ParserCreate?
In that case - without supplying an external memory handler,
Expat just uses the standard C runtime functions
malloc, realloc and free.

If you use XML_ParserCreate_MM however, then *you*
are supplying the memory handler yourself.

In both cases you don't need the requested function.

Is your situation different from what I described?
