Ah, sorry - it was a last minute hack, to have paren in parse rule short
and readable :-) Now as I think of it, it would be easier to have some
buff: {} to copy result to, and build string from scratch ... But anyway
.... I would still prefer building clear and readable rules, even on
several lines and put them into separate .r file, instead of having
messy code as shown with perl.
