Not trying to be pedantic or anything, but 'Parse::Yapp' is *not* the model to
follow IMO if there is to be a generic parser tool made to create plug-in
grammars. I'm not sure of performance issues, but 'Parse::FastDescent' would
be a better model for designing one. IMO, tons more flexible and easy to use.
