Organizing a program as a language processor encourages regularity of syntax (which is the user interface), and structures the implementation. It also helps to ensure that new features will mesh smoothly with existing ones.</blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><div style="text-align: right; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Brian W.
