There already are several clojure parser libraries that rely more heavily
on Clojure data structure syntax to define grammars; in fact, that's
probably the norm.  Instaparse was definitely intended as an alternative to
that approach.

That said, instaparse definitely uses Clojure data structures internally to
represent the parser and provides constructor functions to build them.  It
would be pretty easy to build other front-ends that translate to its
internal format, including one that tries to strike a balance between
readability and homoiconicity.
