Hi Hugh,

What are you trying to parse exactly? Is it full Ruby source or a small
subset?

If full source, have you considered what it is exactly that might be
unsafe? Maybe there's a way to create you own "Safety Net" by making
certain parts of Ruby inaccessable. Not sure how extactly, seems like
namepsaces would be needed, but it would be an interesting challange.
Also you might try ParseTree.

OTOH, if only a subset (or something completey different), I have a
general purpose and easy to use Parser class I've been working on for
Carats. Perhaps you'd like to try it and see if can help? Doing so
could also help me test/improve it for everyone.
