Hey Mike,

do you think your framework could also form a basis for static analysis
tools such as FlexPMD/CPD et al? If the parsing is so much faster than
perhaps these existing
tools could be re-written to use the new compiler. I myself know absolutely
nothing about static code analysis, but perhaps folks on the list here do
and leveraging your
existing work could be beneficial.

cheers,

Roland
