Thanks, but I was rather hoping for something that didn't involve so
much interpreted Lua; it's not that I'm worried about the size, but
performance is important here.

And I don't have LPEG.

I'm tending towards the compile-and-execute method right now, actually.
It's ugly, but it's also a reasonably trusted environment, and it would
let me combine it with some other code (for parsing numbers and booleans).
