It is easy to be comfortable with your excellent approach. While you all sink 
some energy into that charted sea to see that it is charted, I shall endeavor 
to deploy an actual solution for the "...not...such..." consideration which 
is definitely a chess game, even though there are those that think no such 
gameboard is relevant.

If I can sketch it, I will share notes, and atleast a minimum bison file to 
show the concept specifically.

At a higher level we all have a major issue before us. If the vendors are 
deploying different semantics on arithmetic and I/O conditional syntax, we 
have the largest possible coding task before us. That represents a major 
turning point, if real. So heads up.

But whatever the direction this imparts, clearly the tenacity displayed by 
one in possession of as much technical depth and breadth as you will mean 
good things for this project.

Best Wishes
