yes, i see this is cool. I'd just hope that there would be an equivalent set of

Interesting that this should be mentioned in the perl6-compiler list. 
We're already planning on doing this -- the rules parser will be written 
as a (set of) rule(s), and callable as a rule.  That means that you 
don't have to re-implement the parser -- the compile-time stuff.  You do 
have to re-implement the runtime stuff, but that's largely the nature of 
the beast -- your runtime will be very different anyway, I should think.
