William, Thank you a lot. Is there building instructions ?
Are there any interest in creating/adding these efforts as commons-math subproject. I understand and agree with the point that a parser is outside of the scope of commons-math, but may be we can create a subproject "commons-math-sandbox" or "commons-math-ext" or "commons-math-optional", that will host efforts and project related but does not fit the scope. This will separate the concerns and allow those who need this functionality to find it easily, at the same time it will give the project a home, and make it available for wider users. Is this a valid suggestion ?
