I believe that path to cause less resistance.  People will not probably
consider the issues if they don't have a good picture of what is going
on, which means a complete patch, which in turn is not of small size.
Now large patches tend not to capture much attention...  However having a
branch around which you can test on real codes is a different thing
and more impressive :-).
We've just got a new parser (great jobs were done by Mark), and I'm not
sure Mark would like to see all sorts of extensions go in without
seeing the thingies in action and a thorough discussion.

Well, if enough people believe that a branch is not necessary I'm
happier with it.
