It's kind of hard to tell how long it will take, but I have a gut  
feeling that says that the basic functionality could be implemented  
very quickly (a matter of a few days concentrated effort at most), of  
course excluding the obligatory polishing phase which always takes  
forever.

I can and will do this on the condition that we agree 100% that we  
don't do things in parallel :)

However, we talked about this loss of momentum earlier. Up until  
Christmas, I am still teaching 2 classes and I think it would be a  
mistake for me to promise anything until January.

Since ANTLR doesn't make it easy for us to to handle these "int  
<size>" things, let's just use the parser you made.
