    Gentlemen.

    I don't care about the implementation.  If it doesn't work, it can be fixed.

    I don't care about the syntax.  It does look clunky, but it can be fixed.
    (Anyway, I can see reader macros or a user-definable parser driver table,
    or both, not far down the track.)

    I have read the documents.

    This is the biggest of big wins.  The design smacks of sheer genius.

    My heartiest congratulations.

    OK,
    John.

yep, i have to agree. what you have done is superb.
