It was you who raised the idea of writing a parser and implied that it was easy. Oh I see. I had thought you were talking about the mahoste, whereas you want me to write a parser, or at least for unfathomable reasons are saying that you do. It's compiling the mahoste to serve as input to the parser that would take 1 minute, not writing the parser! I wasn't presuming specifically that anyone in particular would want to write a parser to take input from a mahoste, though I think of reasons why in principle somebody might want to. (John points out that the current parser can take input from a mahoste, so your wish is granted.) --And.
