I have given my example.  I've decided from several years of
experience that a parser generator tool should have been used
to implement it.

If a C++ CLA library uses a parser generator it should use
Spirit because Spirit provides a native, embedded domain-specific
language for specifying grammars.  I don't know of any other
C++ parser generators that do this.
