Hi John, The status is: experimental beta. You are welcome to try it out and give us feedback. I will support it and fix bugs to the extent limited time allows, which pretty much means: easy bugs. I have not agreed to adopt it as-is into Unicon, there were credible arguments that design is unfinished in that it lacks integration with string scanning. However, it is both more concise and runs a lot faster than string scanning and I will adopt it if and when I find the right person to finish it. Sudarshan Gaikaiwari did a fantastic job for an M.S. project but elected not to stick around for his Ph.D. Finishing this project might become a funding priority soon, which tends to attract bright students, so I would not abandon hope.
In my personal testing, which is limited, it worked as advertised but I did experience a few cryptic errors (in non-scanning code, even) that went away when I turned it off. That was (as you note) some time ago and the situation might or might not be fixed, or acceptable, to you now. Thus it is experimental.
