That's perfectly fine. Writing a parser yourself is a lot of work, and you probably had bigger fish to fry at the time. Remember, Chicken is *practical* Scheme system.

If this is how you feel about the egg, I think it's probably a good idea to change its category to "deprecated", and put a note on the wiki page pointing people to the lowdown egg. This provides some transparency about the egg's status, and guides people's expectations.
