I agree with Daniel, an FP overview would be very useful, especially
since you already have the info written.

And please do keep up the verbosity. :-) I had always avoided parsing
projects until I read through your Spirit docs. The background info on
general parsing gave me what I needed to quickly use spirit, and since
then I've been looking for any chance to use spirit.
