Interesting, I thought you were hand-writing this stuff.

I'm a fan of pegged and made some pull requests, one of which was aimed 
at making it more customizable by allowing the user to define what type 
gets used as a parse tree node, thus allowing one to potentially use 
their parse tree as an AST (and maybe do a couple other things too). 
It's a WIP, but the proof of concept is done: DMD can handle the extra 
templating at compile time, so it works.

What kind of things did you want in terms of customizability?
