I took another look at the library this morning and I agree with Jeff
Garland
that this library has potential.

Howewver, it is hard to get my head around this
library becouse it contains two very
different things: 1) a recursive property-tree container and
2) six parsers to populate this container.

I'm not a low-level container author so I cant speak to the
merits pro/con of this implementation of a recursive property-tree.
Nevertheless, I would like the review to focus on this, without regard to
the parser grammers.

I think that my objections could be resolved by removing the six-parsers
from the review.  Assuming the "property-tree" container is approved,
lets schedule another review for these six-parsers.  Either all of them at
once, or one at a time.

If the library author would be willing to delay the review the parser
grammers until later this year, I might be persuaded to give this library
another review.
