Patches welcome. :) If anything, I think I'd rather see things like `grok_number()` become hooks so you can intercept them, whether to augment, replace, or just add: `warn "Hey, scare's over now, you can go back to 2 digits" if $num =~ /^20\d\d\z/;` [download] Of course we probably don't reach `grok_number()` unless the lexer has already spotted a digit, so we'd need hot-pluggable grammars as well.
