Looking at the Spirit documentation, it *does* indeed look highly 
similar. (Right down to using the ">>" operator for the same purpose 
that Parsec does.)

The difference, of course, is that Spirit uses compile-time template 
insanity to do it's work, whereas Parsec does all its cleverness at 
runtime. (So Spirit is probably faster, and Parsec supports constructing 
user-defined parsers at runtime.)
