This now today will do a type-check. (Note that .new on grammars is
still a bit kinky, but .parse and .parsefile are the official ways to do
matching of a grammar now - .new will be dealt with by pm during other
PGE changes, I expect :-)).

So I think the main issue in this ticket is now resolved.

Thanks!
