+Parsley uses the PEG algorithm, so each expression in the
+grammar rules works like a Python expression.
+In particular, alternatives are evaluated in order,
+unlike table-driven parsers such as yacc, bison or PLY.
+
+Parsley is an implementation of OMeta, an object-oriented
+pattern-matching language developed by Alessandro Warth.
