Very nice! I think this is worth pursuing.
We might want to sacrifice some of its elegance to get rid of
the shift/reduce conflicts. Or, the cfws at beginnings looks
like it causes some of them. Could the scanner do even more
than you already have it doing to help? I don't have anything
more specific in mind at this point.
