uhm... have you ever tried to write a C++ parser? reinventing that
wheel takes man-years (or perhaps man-decades) of effort to get right...
this and the fact that for the longest time C++ frontends were tightly
coupled to compiler internals is the main reason why there are ~no
working C++ refactoring tools today, and hopefully LLVM and/or GCC's
plugin interfaces will fix that some time.
