I considered using Mercury, and it's doubtless the case that a Mercury
implementation would be more robust.  However, it's essentially a text
mangling task and it's easier to do that kind of thing in Awk.

If I/someone eventually gets around to providing a decent generic
parsing module then the next version will probably be in Mercury.

Cheers,

Ralph
