No, he implied that POV-Ray is missing a fast parser in the part I quoted.

Regarding a grammar: Grammars in a format assuming a specific parser
generator are hardly very useful. And formal grammars cannot be directly
read by any parser generator. So no need for yet another grammar format,
POV-Ray already uses its own (informal one) in the documentation.
