Sure, but not quite where I was headed with that, because: “One thing I tried to do when writing preprocessor code for Bacalao was to try to choose syntax that would not be valid SC code otherwise (e.g. deg"0 2 [8 6] 7"), because I want to be able to mix normal code with my ‘custom’ functionality” (totalgee, here).
Understood that you’re talking about something else, but I’ve spent rather a lot of time on mixed-dialect cases, and it gets a bit headachy right in this area: “just give me the next xyz element starting here” and there are a bunch of exceptional cases that have to be re-handled. Would be great if a parsing backend could handle some of those while returning control to the caller after finishing a given element.
