Sintax design, not implementing a parser.
You're arguing that you might not make up your mind and feel compelled to churn parts of your implementation due to your indecisiveness.
That's not the parser's fault, and I fail to see how anyone avoids this indecisiveness by replacing a proper parser with a bunch of ad-hoc hacks.

So what? Just work on it. How many parser generator tools are there? It's as if people have been doing this for decades.
