Tim I don't think that we are agreeing.: Fernando seems to want to
view combinators as parsing constructs and hence says things like
"the combinators don't have to do much if you are using automata
based black boxes" (to paraphrase). But combinators are more than
parsing constructs -- they are sequencing constructs used for a wide
variety of tasks where automata techniques are not available.
