We could also rewrite the parser using ply with a well-defined grammar and
tokenizer, like how the LTL parser is implemented. Doing it this way would
be easier to validate as well, because the grammar would be mostly
copy-pasted from the specification.

Good idea, I can look into that and see how hard it's going to be (I'm not familiar with ply, but I see it's well documented).

Do you have specific examples of what doesn't work?

Two things that I can remember:

  - breaking long lines

  - C-style and C++-style comments

Yeah those could break some assumptions (and they shouldn't), especially the line breaks.. And supporting it in the current parser may make it just uglier..

Thanks,
