The parser has been hand-written by Roberto Raggi, and I have spent a lot of 
time fine-tuning it for real-world C++. I guess it's very hard to create an 
efficient real full-fledges C++ parser with a parser-generator, as nobody is 
doing that. And if the C++ parser should ever be replaced, then with something 
that is shared with another big project like eclipse, QtCreator or clang. 
However, it seems like currently most of those projects are _behind_ us, so I 
don't see a reason to even spend a single thought on that.

Greetings, David
