No, I don't believe that's what's happening. My concern is that at some point, there *will* need to be a bootstrapped parser which is written in some low level language, outputting Parrot bytecode, and it *will* need to be able to reconfigure itself mid-match. I think. I can't remember why I'm so convinced of this, and I'm too tired to think it through with examples right now, and I might be wrong anyway, but at least I can be ready with a solution if it proves necessary. :) -- "There is no safe investment.
