Regardless of the org-mode parser, I think I should work on the elisp backend for ragel which is something that can benefit any elisp project. As for the new org-mode parser, I could not find it on the repo. Could you point me to the relevant files? Is it still hand written? If so, I think it's ultimately a bad idea and it should be rewritten using ragel.
