Going by the readme this looks great - I imagine I'll be giving it a
go use it next time I need to write a parser.

Being able to generate useful diagnostics from PEGs is probably the
most attractive feature for me, so if you're looking for more examples
or additions to the readme I might suggest adding a demonstration of
this functionality.
