Ah, good to know, thanks.  I definitely think it would be A Cool Thing
if one could build a complete Python parser and compiler in Python.
Kind of along the lines of building the interpreter main loop in
Python as much as possible.  I know that /I'm/ not going to have any
time to contribute though (and others have more and better experience
in this area than I do).
