Patch rejected, at least for the moment. I'm not wanting to
turn compilers into invokable objects (that's an outdated
Parrot model that we're working to eliminate), and my experience
with grammar matching leads me to want to avoid creating
special syntax workarounds.
When PCT::HLLCompiler gets its refactor (soon) then PGE will
also be updated to correctly parse code blocks written
in other languages.
Thanks,
Pm
