I will take a little of your time to ask whether you read the older
threads on the topic -- the one that Andrew Dunstan linked to, and the
older ones, to which that email links to? This whole area has been
extensively discussed before.
In any case, I repeat what I said before: this is way too complex a
topic for it to make a good GSoC project (unless you're already
intimately familiar with the parser and executor code.) You need to
pick something smaller, more localized.
