Arthur Baars has a full Haskell combinator parser. He made it work<br>
with ghc and could bootstrap itself, i.e. it parses all the Ghc sources<br>
and all of the fptools libraries. The speed of the parser seems<br>
pretty good: ghc compiles itself and fptools about 5-10% slower<br>
than with the standard haddock parser.<br>
<br>
I am not sure if he reads this list so you might want to contact<br>
him directly to get the sources.<br>

Anyway, I've now merged my repo with the changes to haskell-src in
CVS. There were no merge conflicts.

I agree that the parser (and the lexer too) should be parametrized
over extensions. The Extensions type in Distribution.Extension looks a
bit messy, but I guess that's a different issue entirely, I suppose
once that's stable we'll have no problems using it. I've started
adding some infrastructure to my lib for doing this parametrization,
it seems to be fairly straight-forward (but tedious). I'll keep
working on it.
There are a few non-conservative changes introduced in
haskell-src-exts, so I guess it's best to wait until all the extension
parametrization is there before adding my stuff to the official cvs.
