    Question. Do I understand that your AG class implements the synthetic and inherited Attributes for a data-structure already parsed and created by Parse::RecDescent or whatever?

    • Thank you for the POD compliment, though I do think I need to rewrite it. I was in a coding mood, not a writing mood, when I wrote it.

I can see such a preprocessor coming in useful when I add structure specification, but at the moment, I don't think it would buy you anything. There is no redundant information there. A very simple preprocessor that would allow you to interleave an AG and a BNF may
