It would be nice to put it in a module, seeing as it binds allot of useful words. I like your module1plus, but without macro support it is hard to contain this library.
The macros seq, alt, cant-see, many, and many1 may appear to be expressible as functions, but they need to be macros to reference parsers not yet created.
(= a (alt 'y (many b)))
;; `b' is not bound yet, but will be by the time `a' is used.
(= b (alt 'x (many a)))
(parse a '(x y))
Oh, bummer. I guess I got too used to lazy evaluation in Haskell.
Macro support... dang. It's kind hard to scan through the code looking for macro definitions, and then you need to have them exportable, meaning you need the original list - and exportable macros will not be able to refer to the exporting environment (bummer).
Macros in packages are a hard problem, no doubt. I still wonder if some degree of macrolet hackery might do the trick.
On a brighter note, I decided to make the lazy semantics of "lib/treeparse.arc" a special case, not the default. That way, there only needs to be one macro, delay-parser. Apart from making the code cleaner, this also makes a module more feasible.
Hmm. Maybe export the macros as functions. Hmm. This also means that everything within the module has to be macro-expanded, in case macroexpansion creates a reference to a module-based macro. Aargh.
