Yes.  I think that we should aim at finally having a generic
table-driven lexical analyzer and parser, as in Bigloo.

We then express different syntaxes and grammars in a Schemelike syntax
and have tools which compiles these into tables for the parsers.

So the initial stages of translation for each language can simply be
represented by a number of tables.


It's certainly an extremely important task to provide this kind of
generic parser support for Guile.
