I was wondering the other day if it would make sense to rewrite the format
parser in bison/yacc. The handcoded state automaton is awful to debug and a
maintenance burden, as the same grammar is reproduced in the library. It
should then be possible to use the same code in the library and the compiler
for the parsing. Ideas? Takers?
