This milestone is completed

Parser

The goal of this phase is to build a structured text recognition framework, a little bit like ANTLR, but with extensible grammars.

Core parsing technology (milestone 1)

Grammar syntax
Extensible parser
Error messages
Error recovering
Automatic Parse Tree (PT) generation
Quasiquotation (constructing and matching a code by patterns)
Serializing PT back to document
- PrettyPrint based on marker tegs in grammar
- HTML PrettyPrint
- ToString based on PrettyPrint
Testing framework
Documentation, samples, SDK

IDE support

Syntax highlighting (coloring)
Outlining (aka folding)
Parse errors highlighting and error list
Matching constructs (braces, etc)

Language Grammars

Nitra (bootstrapping)
C#
JSON
URI
Markdown like syntax

Completing this phase means we can do the following:

Express language grammar in a concise form, without heavy-lifting on complexities of EBNF and such.
Generate fast parser and PT builder
