Jacek,
Perhaps there would be needed some temporary hacks
that would allow mixing new and old parsing code while it's rewritten

is prepared to deal with this.

These statements seem contradictory, but I might be missing something.
Could you please elaborate?
In the second quote I was talking about projects related to cmd that are
not parser rewrite. I think rewriting parser is a good project (with the
big warning that coding is not the only chalenge here, getting it
committed is tricky). The mixing that I was talking about in the first
quote is that, if possible, new parser should be integrated
incrementally, so there would be a mix of old and new code in a middle
of work.
Cheers,
