This Wednesday, we had the PLT luminaries from University of Utah visit 
our humble group at BYU. I can swear that Ryan told us syntax/parse 
doesn't actually use match. It has its own slower-but-simpler 
implementation.

We also talked about bootstrapping syntax/parse. And then bootstrapping 
everything. It was heady stuff.
