That depends entirely on how complicated the syntax that it parses is.
If he's worried about the recoding effort, I doubt that the parsing is
simple enough to be a 5 minute job in IDL. With all due respect to IDL,
most things that can be parsed correctly by a 5-minute IDL program have
a fairly simple syntax.
