I was going to send a link to that section; you found it. The C++ parser is in branch "master" but it's not hooked up yet, it won't be running. I'm still working on finishing it (actually, these days).
My plan is to finish it, then to translate the booking code to C++ (with improvements in the design doc), and make a one-time conversion to Python objects, so we can use all the existing code and hook up the new parser. Just use V_ in the meantime. (Or trade options instead of single stocks... "V_211015_P222.5" is a valid currency symbol... you can sell ATM puts and size up a bit for equivalent delta exposure with a theta component. Okay okay, never mind...)
