Ever wanted a LISP S-expressions parser?

I have. I do some natural language processing work, where some people like to output parse trees as S-expressions. Very natural. But then I always balk because I have to go whip up a little parser for it, which I know to be easy in principle, but... well, you know how that goes.

Anyway, if you're at my level of programming mediocrity, the one where "write an S-expressions parser" makes you think "I know this is easy, but do I have to?", then perhaps the lispparser package is for you! I guess this is too minor a package to warrant a mailing list announcement, but I've taken a bit of Jonathan Tang's tutorial code and put it on hackage as lispparser. If you think it needs improvement, I might consider putting a darcs2 repository online somewhere.
