There's probably more than one way, but yes.  I don't need to
generate an executable for later use, so interpreting my input is
fine.  I need to manage the complexity so I can cope with future
expansion if any.

I'm looking to do this in Ruby.  Experience of things that simplify
this, whether they come from other languages or not, is what I am
after.  I mention the other languages because I have tried their
styles of handling this problem.  My success has been limited. So,
what can I do for more success? :-)  Look at the problem differntly?
Use another technique?
