And that is the problem for other languages Roberto.  Your new parser is sooo 
nice that it'll allow us to do things with C++ that will be hard for other 
language parts to keep up with short of writing their own parsers.

Now, are you suggesting Jakob should write a full blown Java parser in C++ 
using your new parser as inspiration?  If so, and he decides to do it, COOL 
BEANS!! but... I can't imagine that we'll get very many takers.  It is going 
to be hard to get the other language parts to keep up with the C++ language 
part IMHO.
