MOI on the other hand is already tied to MEX at the full grammar level.  So I am not sure what it means to say that you cannot use MEX with MOI.  Almost anything can be used with MOI if you first turn it into a sumti, and then apply a ME conversion to that sumti.  You can of course turn a MEX into a sumti using LI, so "meli MEX" with appropriate terminators should work with MOI.  I just tried it, and you need either a lo'o or a me'u to terminate the li/me construct before the moi.

I consider ME LI MEX MOI to be a hack, not a proper solution. (Not that it was a bad idea when the goal was to get a YACC working, but it's a bad idea now, when the goal is to get a PEG working.) Simply MEX MOI *should* be fine.
