At the moment, mvwm is mostly fvwm with a lot of old and obscure

I think Thomas has something more radical in mind, either forking
off permanently, or replacing fvwm2 with fvwm3 eventually.

That definitely must be one goal of the syntax rewrite.

Well, at the moment it's too early to think about how a new parser
should look like.  First we need to find out what the current fvwm
needs from a parser.  Than we can think about replacing commands
and streamlining the syntax.
