For something in the stdlib, I think it has to be "here are the problems to be solved, now I'll design a parser to solve them".
I gave links to CVEs and bugs in BPO. Those are illustrative of problems to be solved. If you know of other places where a parser can help, let's hear it.
But they are *individual* problems to be solved, and you're trying to come up with a *general* solution. So you'll need to be very clear about exactly what you're solving, particularly since you're implying that the use of such a parser will prevent these sorts of issues from happening in the future.
