I am doing something similar, but storing a hash on the previous lexical
stream ( minus tokens designated for comments). What I really need to know
is the change in the content of a single routine, therefore the basic parse
is still needed. For me the parsing has never been a bottleneck, its the
steps that follow; which can be minimized to just the routine(s) that have
been modified.
