OK, so tell me which way to go - branch off with the refactoring or create a 
0.7 branch? I would opt for the first, becuase I was really hoping to get the 
refactoring over with quickly and get on to some "real" additions :)

Conceptually, the parsing function structure I proposed is not far from a dict 
of functions, so maybe that would be a good first step to take.
