That's Dan's approach, from what I've read on his blog. As long as we eventually get a python parser running as parrot bytecode, it doesn't really matter how it gets there. It's just that I personally am a lot more comfortable with the higher level concepts. I'd rather work with visit_if() than a string of python bytecodes. My intuition is that you could do a lot better job with optimization that way too, but I could be way off there.
