Hmmph. Handling 90 or 95% of the constructs or cases is usually pretty
easy. It's the last few percent that kick your butt. Please note
that's a general observation; I've never attempted a compiler for
the full Ada or C++ language. (I did write a forth interpreter, but
since forth has approximately one parsing rule and three syntactic
rules, it's not quite in the same league.)
