This little post to say a big 'Thanks' to Tobias. I'm reading Grune's
Parsing Techniques and find it absolutely wonderful: easy to read,
going into details and limits of the many parsing algos. Very cool!

I'm playing with fully-backtracking recursive-descent parsers right
now, to deal with ambiguous grammars and the small parser works
beautifully. Hey, I just saw he gives the code on his website, nice!

Now, on to LR. Nick, here I come. I'll at last know how Goldie works.
