Well, my idea of what a Pythonic Python-wrapping system
should be is Pyrex, and I don't think I'd want too much
of that incorporated into Python itself. Better to leave
it as a separate tool.

Maybe one day Pyrex could make use of some of Python's
parsing and AST machinery -- or maybe not. Some of the
tricks Pyrex does with its recursive descent parser
would be difficult to reproduce with the likes of pgen.
