Introducing The Hackable Usermode PARSE ("UPARSE")

[hostilefork]

Glad you like it, and hopefully enough that you'd want to come back and work on it...this is the democratization of the design of PARSE, right here!

• An ability to return the furthest input point matched...

I took a crack at it! See: Semantics of UPARSE's FURTHEST

@Brett

An ability to return a parse tree result (terms matched + segments matched). This is fabulous for data extraction formed into a structured result.

This is something where maybe hacking up a demo example would be useful. I don't really know what you would be looking for with this, but maybe you can discern by looking at the gist of uparse.reb whether it's the sort of thing that would be feasible to mock up.

I added GATHER and EMIT pretty quickly, and I think they might point in the direction of filling in some of the holes in the design.
