Nearly so. > So whether we switch parsing technologies or not is not of interest to you, > only the interfaces we expose? > I would think that switching parsing technologies would encourage creation of a better AST interface layer which further my goal of getting to the AST's for other purposes. I also think that exposing the AST layer would further your goal of switching parser technology by allowing outsiders to contribute parsers that you might ultimately like better. So I do see a linkage and do support switching. +1 to switching parsers (and thus making switching easier)
