You (and others) might find the following article interesting. I no
longer remember the method, but I remember enjoying the article:


@article{none,
    author="David R. Hanson",
    title="Compact Recursive-Descent Parsing of Expressions",
    journal="Software---Practice \& Experience",
    volume=15, number=12, month=dec, year=1985, pages="1205-1212"
}
