I can't see any way to handle parameterized types without extending the
grammar individually for each one --- otherwise it's too hard to tell
them apart from function calls.  That makes it a bit hard to do 'em
as plug-ins :-(.  The grammar hacks are certainly ugly though, and if
someone could think of a way, I'm all ears...
