   Also, LPEG grammars are relatively composable. If you're stuck on
something, try breaking it into smaller pieces and testing them in the
Lua interpreter. You can also add a match-time pattern which does
nothing but print out "got to BLAH at offset $bytes", for printf-style
debugging.

   As I said to Lorenzo off-list, I've been meaning to write an LPEG
howto for a while. If I ever get to it, I will definitely post an
announcement.

Good luck,
Scott
