Good progress on the proposal. I don't know for sure, but I expect that an implementation of this would involve not simply parsing but also implementing language constructs as needed. Have you discussed this with the openscad devs at all? It might be that a more practical approach would be to modularize the language functionality out of openscad into a library that both we and they could use (although they would need to be willing to relicense the library part to LGPLv2 to make that practical for BRL-CAD.) They already have (by definition) a working implementation of the parser and language in their code, so if it can be extracted into a library that would potentially save a lot of re-engineering. It may be intertwined too heavily for that, but definitely something to check out before diving in to our own implementation...
