No, it's not, it's overly complex. You have to define all sorts of
different expression and variable variations :(
rewrite the parser for what? for more academism?
No, because current one is constraining implementation of some things,
and making some things impossible. (we are limited, for instance, in
options for order that generator expressions (e.g. Python's [i*2 for i
in range(6)]) could be)
we will rewrite it soon or later, but it's not because current one is
bad, it will because a better parser tool shows up...
Well, current one is bad. It only works well for some common cases. For
others, it doesn.t
