I for one really like where this seems to be heading. Reminds me
much of a php project with similar ambitions called Arbiter,
http://arbiter.sf.net. What's nice about this, is the customer plays
a hand in defining what the syntax is, deepening the buy in since I
can conceivably write matchers to work with the language the
customer uses rather than attempt to constrain them into using a
new vocabulary.

I haven't read all the posts in detail or given Pat's pasties a thorough
study but I'd assume there would/could also be a non-match catch
all matcher that could be used to identify steps that appear to
require a new matcher or perhaps needing to be reworded, etc. ?
