FWIW, Im slowly cobbling together some parsing-expression-grammars for 
Guix package definitions.
Im doing it in the Lisp TXR atm but Im going to create a hybrid approach 
with Prolog to make it more general.

In addition to outputting a unified formatting, Im planning on altering 
descriptions so that that that content is outputted in the format 
Texinfo.

Please dont expect anything soon but should anybody start any other 
initiative then I may possibly some useful assets or details by then.

Kind regards,


Jonathan
