I'm thinking about such a thing myself, inspired by MetaS. In several
of my applications I'd appreciate some scripting feature, based upon a
grammar which can be input on the fly, from either manual input or a
text file.


It's no special problem to create automation tables at runtime, but
how to add actions to these tables? Once a grammar is customized with
actions, it's very hard to propagate eventual changes in the syntax to
all those customized grammars :-(
