I have one very concrete parsing problem which can potentially be solved elegantly
by this new API.  In the Lambtex parser [1], I need to switch between lexers
mid-parsing (think handling verbatim-like blocks).  The current solution is very
hackish and complex, to the point that I've seriously considered switching to some
parser combinator approach.

Anyway, hopefully this particular use case will be solvable by the API once it
allows inspection of values of type "env"!

Best regards,
Dario Teixeira
