If it changes a lot then you can do it as a builtin preprocessor
that compiles to D then hand it over to the regular parser.
in other words: i'm not ready for this challenge yet. i'd

with my patches and leave custom parsers for somebody else.
Mhmmm, and here I thought I could lure you into paving the way
for my own ambitious syntactical changes… ;-)
