Hi Demi, thanks for going in-depth on the alternatives.

Unfortunately, given the amount of analysis performed on the parse tree,
even just replacing the parser amounts to a wholesale rewrite of the
tool.

I will look into the others though, just to reduce the amount of trust
that kconfirm users need to invest in the Rust ecosystem.
