Interesting, I had not heard of PRATT parsers before.

I think I'll stick with a recursive descent parser though, because it's 
a more widely known approach, even if the code is less compact.

The structure of a recursive descent parser resembles the grammar quite 
closely which a benefit too, I think, with the grammar being of the docs 
already.
