It wouldn't because:
* It's hardwired to use exceptions. My use case is a parser for a data
format with several base64 fields. It's not exceptional for them to be
malformed, so I'd rather use error codes.
* The format I'm parsing (P-H-C strings, a way to store hashed
passwords - see
https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-string-format/blob/master/phc-sf-spec.md)
mandates to not output padding characters.
Also, I don't see any tests for error cases.

Ruben.
