At the moment, I'd like to settle the %push-pull-parser issue, which my 
recent patch addresses.  If you have no preference in that regard, that's 
fine, buy maybe Paul has an opinion.  In any case, I shouldn't make that 
decision by myself.

In the meantime, I think we should stay away from #1 just to avoid 
conflicts.  However, feel free to work on #2, but understand that the 
%push-pull-parser stuff is still evolving.  For #3, do you have any use 
cases from your own work that could be converted to test cases?
