We (with Oleg) thought hard about it and we don't find a solution yet.
Configurable parser should be:
- fast
- flexible
- not error-prone
- comfortable to use by non-programmer (at least for non-C programmer)

It might be a table-driven state machine (just put TParserStateAction into
table(s) with some caching for first step) , but it's complex to operate and
it's needed to prove correctness of changes in states before its become in use.
