Not yet sure, the first thing would be the planning of it, and a 
prototype that actually parses, probably in Python, python rules! (for 
quick dev stuff anyway) it depends what I'd have to change and the 
output from the parser to the next stage (semantic analysis). It'd be a 
good chance to add some hooks (or something, again it's just a thought) 
for static analysis to use, fix some of those things that Clang is good 
for (apparently).

Once again, purely a thought, I'd love to at least try, what's this 
copyright malarkey I've been hearing about?
