After doing a bunch of programming in nawk recently, I found myself
wondering if anyone has retargeted a yacc-like parser generator for awk. 
I don't know how useful this would be, but it has potential amusement
value [much like Roger Rohrbach's lisp written in old-awk].  It might
also be handy for prototyping "little languages" you don't want to do
via recursive descent.
