I don’t know what happened to my last reply but it should have been this.
I’m not sure about this but I suspect that it doesn’t involve parsing. It’s likely that the metapost expects a parameter or parameters to be passed to it which it then assigns to the variable Q in its own procedure. It won’t care what the calling program calls it. I think the arrowhead is probably defined within an arrow class (arrow.h perhaps).
