Thanks! That sounds awfully limiting if I'm being honest, even if a language is 'mostly' well-behaved... I can't say I can see how you could use preprocessing to get around the limitations since it would seem that doing so properly would require already parsing the input. It sounds like a nice method for when it works but it doesn't really sound like it would substitute for LR?

Not really limiting. Crockford used it in jslint [0][1][2] to parse JavaScript, and OIL Shell also uses it [3] to parse a shell language.
