That just about sums up a project I'm working on. (I'm doing it for fun so
arguments about good use of time don't apply) The current state is, lexer
works, mostly. Grammar is extracted from the docs and I'm working on a way
to pound it into shape for dparse (cut it into small paces and reform it
without direct left recursion) That's something like 9 months of my spare
time so don't expect anything "real soon".
