RedParse doesn't work in 1.9 yet either, tho.

I forgot to mention RubyNode before. That fills out the list of ruby
parsing libraries I know of.

So you want something that:
  works in 1.9
  written in pure ruby
  doesn't use extensions (except maybe thru FFI)

Taken together, I think these requirements eliminate all the
reasonable candidates.

Why do you care whether it uses FFI or the traditional extension api?
For that matter, why do you care what language it's written in?
