This sounds very useful for all the various kinds of special-purpose textual input formats applications are likely to use.
* being able to use Chord Ontology syntax in a buffer, where there is no parse per se, but the buffer is lexed according to the token syntax.
I don't understand this. How would you have a buffer syntax with "no parse per se"?
Is this sensible, worthwhile, possible, easy? I would have thought that we would have essentially all the components already, and it was a matter of gluing them together, but maybe I'm forgetting a snag?
I would think this is possible, we already have a state machine, cl-automaton, I think it can be adapted for this purpose. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen
