With this, custom parsing of any property list object type is
supported. For example, parsing of strings into numeric values,
converting binary objects to images, and deeper parsing of array and
dictionary objects.
If null, then the default parser for the object type is used:
* QFString: pointer to the actual string. The string continues to
be owned by the string object.
* QFBinary: pointer to fixed-size DARRAY_TYPE(byte) (so size isn't
lost)
* QFArray: pointer to fixed-size DARRAY_TYPE(plitem_t *) with the
individual objects. The individual objects continue to be owned
by the array object.
* QFDictionary: pointer to the hashtab_t hash table used for the
dictionary object. The hash table continues to be owned by the
dictionary object.
\param field Pointer to this field item.
\param item The property list item being parsed into the field.
\param data Pointer to the field in the structure being parsed.

checking is done: it is up to the top-level caller to
parse out the messages.

\a PL_ParseStruct uses an array (terminated by an element with \a name

a single \a plfield_t object, and then only the \a data field, which must

be used directly as either a \a plfield_t or \a plelement_t object's
\a parser.

with \a name set to the key of the current item and \a offset set to 0.
For \a PL_ParseArray, \a name is set to null and \a offset is set to the
current index. \a PL_ParseLabeledArray also sets \a offset to the current
