It's quite common to write unit tests for VM recipes/playbooks wheen using
tools like Chef etc, parsing and checking the installed/generated files is part
of that. This would be one very real use case for writing a parser.

I'm not convinced that basing design decisions on a single customer reference
who only want to use the code once is helpful.  I hear what you're saying, but
I think this will see more diverse use cases than what we can foresee here.
