SAS has no such ability, and is not even object oriented. So it didn't seem like a good fit. Have I misunderstood--for example, are the remarks directed more at smalltalk as an implementation language for Moose?
In other ways some kind of preexisting framework would be helpful. I'm making the parser because I want to understand where a particular dataset, and then a particular variable in the dataset, came from.
