After some profiling Tirade is now about 7 times faster than doing evals 
using Compiler. Tirade can also parse the full file in one sweep without 
having to do it in chunks, same speed.

I think this parser will be quite useful as a Delta parser - and for 
other similar formats.

And yes, it currently does not have a receiver before the messages it 
would otherwise be fully legal Smalltalk code. Not sure why that would 
be interesting though.

I will now proceed to test using this as serialization format for Deltas.
