As ctfe support matures, I dream of a full-fledged parser generator that

My spirit port might be an option at some point soon:

Yeah, I had spiritd in the back of my mind when I wrote that. I've never
used spirit, but from a once-over of the docs, it looks like something I
should make a point of getting familiar with this summer.
Haven't tried it with current d2 compilers, but should still work w/ d1.
It uses lots of template code to compose parsers, so in theory it ought
to be usable at compile time. I doubt it can be used that way at the
moment, but hopefully dmd will get there and then you'll be able to do
some seriously funky stuff at compile time.
That would be awesome.
