Just had a thought: why not allow the listAllMatches=True to be added to
the calls to pyparsing elements?  Such as:

p.delimitedList(bracket_quoted('key_columns', listAllMatches=True))

In fact, here you go.  Starting on line 1170 of pyparsing.py (doc
strings deleted for brevity)

    def __call__(self, name, **kw):
        return self.setResultsName(name, **kw)

And just advertise pp_element() as a shortcut for
pp_element.setResultsName().
