I glanced at it, but have not had a chance to dive in. There had been
so many changes to the parser code while I was off playing with outer
join syntax that I decided to start over (lots of what I had done
needed to be cleaned up anyway).

I hope to get back to development within a few days, but in the
meantime my parser is re-broken and I haven't yet fixed Jan's parts. I
hate to be holding up Jan, but otoh I hate to see us having to use a
new techique for parsing if the usual ones can be made to work...
