Yeah. and I think it was even healing correctly, until one day when it was
actually getting in pretty good shape, I was hurrying and made it worse,
because it deteriorated after that.

Well, but this is all old ground.  I was seeing this years ago, and
besides, its what all the old MST parsers from a decade ago were all about.
Its also why they were abandoned: no one figured out how to make them
better, by extracting link types.  So the next step will be a first.

OK, "real soon now".  There's always a few hiccups. The mst parser, being
scheme code that calls the atomspace, is at least a magnitude slower than
the LG parser (which has gotten really fast).  Note, however, that the it
is possible to export all of the MST data into LG, and use LG to perform
MST.  This has been in planning for a while, and the ground has been
cleared for this, but remains to be implemented.
