I can't really do that.

The idea is for these parsers to be used interactively in language
modes, so they need to be fast.
Macro use has been crucial in this area.

Also, ActionScript 3 is not the most complicated grammar in the world.
What happens when a bigger
parser overflows my guess for the value of 'less' ?
