Of course, generally when we have a language which requires a stack to 
save its state, it's easiest to just use a preexisting parsing 
framework, instead of reinventing it in an ad-hoc and buggy fashion, 
which is why I'm surprised that Allan's earlier thread about formalizing 
markdown got such pushback from this list.
