@Planeshifter We probably need to flesh this idea out a bit more (2-5 sentences). In particular, what would constitute an MVP as part of the GSoC project? E.g., it could be a tokenizer or formal AST; however, I am not sure how difficult this would be and whether we'd be able to easily track down an airtight reference implementation.
