I think modifying the parser is a pretty big expectation for an application or framework.
Depends on the point of view. It's the normal order of business in some other powerful language I know. :) But if doing something like this is alien to the Smalltalk culture then that is an important consideration.
It's not *that* big a deal. Sure, it's not something you do every day, but there are quite a few projects in Squeak and other Smalltalks that use a custom parser or compiler.
