Thank you!

I tried the version from github (937f931), and despite a few issues with=20
'./configure' (which insisted that camlp4 should be installed, so I=20
commented out a few lines) and 'make clean' (which removed a few extra=20
files), I was able to compile and use it. It worked out of the box=20
without doing ./configure, but because I needed to set the prefix for an=20
opam installation, I had to run it and thus remove the lines related to=20
camlp4.

Anyway, thank you for your responsiveness.**

Can you give it a try?

Basically, camlp4 is only used for stream parsers, which were available i=

(and subsequent removal). It would be nice if they were supported again n=

Note that this is a problem of parsing, so ppx is of no help there.
