From the manual (emphasis mine): "*Several setting words* can be in the same

"setting words" mean setting's arguments (and not setting names, like
specifying OPTIONS and TODO on the same line)?

I first wrote it because I thought it would be fun, and CPAN does not have
one already. The parser converts Org document into a tree of node objects,
and can be a base for other efforts, like exporter to HTML/TXT/POD.
