I'll just note in passing that having another parser that actually works
for our needs might be a pink unicorn pony. It might exist, it might
not, and someone would have to put in the hours to try to find it, tame
it, and bring it to the kernel. But it would be awesome to
have. Switching to a homebrew Python parser first does not preclude a
unicorn hunt later.

BR,
Jani.
