Regardless of the org-mode parser, I think I should work on the elisp
backend for ragel which is something that can benefit any elisp
project.
As for the new org-mode parser, I could not find it on the repo. Could
you point me to the relevant files?
Is it still hand written? If so, I think it's ultimately a bad idea
and it should be rewritten using ragel.
