Once the phoneme string has been split into words, when the parser
runs into an active ZOI (i.e. a ZOI that has not been deactivated by a
preceding magic word) it looks at the following word and keeps it in
memory, then it absorbs all words that don't match that word. When it
runs into a matching word, it closes the ZOI quote. This "keeping in
memory" part is the only part of the grammar that is actually not
really a true PEG. The text inside the ZOI quote might be completely
butchered from the point of view of the foreign language, which could
have different morphological rules than Lojban. From the point of view
of Lojban it is just a string of Lojban words and non-words, but
already processed into "word"-chunks.

This wouldn't work for ZOhOI because now it matters whether these
pseudo-words are separated by pause/spaces or not.
