You're doing low level here. There's quite a few primitives you could use to
ease your development:
let lbracket = del /\(/ "("
> let rbracket = del /\)/ ")"
You can use Util.del_str for that:
let lbracket = Util.del_str "("
let rbracket = Util.del_str ")"
let var_name = key /[a-zA-Z0-9]+/

Have a look at the Rx module for that, for example with Rx.word (a bit
looser, but fine for your needs):
let var_name = Rx.word
let simple_value = store /[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/

Do you *really* want anything but letters? That means, you're trying to
store pretty much everything but letters, including spaces and even
newlines.
I think you don't want the '^' here, and you could probably use Rx.word as
well.
let simple_list = [ lbracket . var_name . del /[ \t\n]+/ " " . simple_value
> . rbracket ]
Are you sure you want to allow '\n' as a separator between var_name and
simple_value? If not, you could use Sep.space for the separator here.
Now this is were you have your problem, because of your definition of
simple_value. What happens is that if the string contains a '\n', there's no
way to know if it belongs to the separator ( /[ \t\n]+/ ) or the value
( /[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/ ).
