Hi Paul

Thanks for the feedback!, Let me wait for some further feedback from the
Ada community, so I can ascertain the extent of the interest in this piece
of work.

My reasoning in this is!, the grammar is NOT 100% perfect, BUT I would like
it to become so, and with input from MORE experienced language / grammar experts
than myself, we can all contribute to make it a robust library than can be
used by everyone with confidence.

Note that I don't believe this as a competing library to the great work that
AdaCore have done with "libadalang", But an alternative to those use cases
where the client application CANNOT easily be written in Ada (such as an
Microsoft Visual Studio Plugin/Extension)
