Wow, you should definitely have him/her drop an e-mail to me.

Right. Depending on the way you want to traverse grammars, you need to
implement that check by yourself.

I usually use a set to mark visited nodes (typically you only need to do
this for ReferenceExp and/or ElementExp, depending on the case.)

I'm glad that the new version is released yesterday. It's not open
source but it comes with the source code.

I would say the abstract API is stable enough. There is no plan to make
any change on it.
