Like I said in the introducing post, this is a personal 
experiment of sorts. I am aware of most alternatives, such as 
ANTLR's ALL(*) and many, MANY others. :) And I would never write 
something myself as a part of my full-time job.

But right now I am writing an article on generalized parsers, 
toying with implementations I could lay my hands on, implementing 
others. GLL is a rather exotic LL flavor which looks attractive 
in theory. I want to see it in practice.
