yip but do I understand it correctly that this is a syntactic parser 
only?  I.e. there is no semantic expression evaluator.  If this is the 
case, you'd need a lot of glue to be able to convert rpsl expressions 
into structures suitable for injection into templating engines.  This is 
the hard bit in irrtoolset that wrecked everyones' heads.
