ParseTree is actually already implemented for IronRuby. Tomas did that to get 
merb running last year. Ruby2Ruby will probably need some work though.

Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Bug?: Ruby2Ruby and ParseTree on IronRuby

Considering we have access to the AST.. I would think that.. in theory at 
least, it would be EASIER to implement than CRuby...

But yeah, what Jimmy said :)

ParseTree hooks into MRI's internals and exposes the parse tree for a given 
chunk of Ruby code. For this to work on IronRuby you'd have to rewrite the 
C-extension-portion of this library to look at the DLR trees (may require 
changes to ironruby as well to expose the tree, but I'm not sure).

Ruby2Ruby is just a Ruby parser written in Ruby, but depends on racc, which 
uses a C extension, though it seems like you can run racc without it.
