* I fully agree with this point. Removing the parsers from the review makes the library essentially useless. They are an important part of the functionality the library provides. A simple string tree is not enough functionality to be relevant; if only a tree was to be submitted, I'd expect it to be a fully generic tree.
Please, RE-READ what I said. I want this review broken up into two parts. I said nothing about the value of this library being useless without the parsers.
Thorsten, please contact me off-list about this.
Sorry, it's just too late to break the review up into two now. If I had demanded that, I think there would have been a great chance that Marcin wouldn't submit anything. If you think the tree is great, but the parsers suck, then just vote no, or (preferably) say what's wrong with them: is the interface? is it the implementation? is it correctness? is it speed? -Thorsten
