Sometimes a mascot is a bad thing

hal9000_: i want to pass ruby source to the parser and
hal9000_: get an abstract syntax tree back
hal9000_: in fact, i'd like the option to make it a "concrete" syntax tree -- with all tokens and line/char info
zenspider: hal9000_... um... have you looked at ParseTree?
hal9000_: no?
zenspider: well, you might want to. :P
hal9000_: was that the ferret??
zenspider: heh. yes.
hal9000_: I didn't look at it because it was a stinky brown ferret
