For all its warts, yacc is frequently such an appropriate tool for
writing parsers that one wonders how some people program without it.
It would be nice to have a similar general compiler compiler available
in a lisp environment, specifically, one that would read a grammar with
embedded lisp actions and produce a parser in lisp.  There must be such
animals out there somewhere.  Can anyone help me out?  Reply by mail,
I'll summarize to the net.
