:) I know this probably doesn't qualify also (and you probably saw it) , but GraphViz2::Marpa is not by Marpa author :) though it is also accompanied by how-to article

FWIW, Marpa guy does give some praise for his error diagnostics on his blog :)

    Thank you. Particularly for answering my actual question :)

    After a more-than-cursory, less-than-comprehensive assessment, Marpa seems like the real deal technically. Fully capable of parsing anything I'm likely to need, and do so efficiently, and give good information when things go wrong.

    But... Why, oh why, do technically very competent programmers -- as the author obviously is -- write such Dog-awful interfaces? And such piss-poor documentation?

    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    The start of some sanity?
