[boost] Possibility of GLR parser combinators? Spirit-2?

I was briefly reading GLR Parsing in Haskell and found the library  based 
off the paper HaGLR a GLR parser combinator framework and it got me 
thinking.

With the advent of Phoenix-2 (very nice work guys) and FC++ being worked on 
(to be re-reviewed for boost in the not to distant future?) there could be a 
possibility of direct & easy port of the haskell code to C++ using either of 
these libraries as it's foundation and built & used in a simillar fashion to 
Spirit ala expression templates (maybe an idea for Spirit 2 even).

There might be an issue with Phoenix-2 (i don't know enough about the 
subject to know for sure) since HaGLR is based on the idea of parser 
combinators i'd assume it takes a simillar approach to the Parsec library 
using monads, from what i gather from Phoenix-2 docs there currently is no 
plains to support monads.

So what do you guys think? :-)
