Are you kidding with this? I can't tell.
C, C++, and Fortran are parsing nightmares, where end-of-line and spacing
are important sometimes and ignored at other times, and so on.
I expect to find the canonical desk calculator example, and perhaps a
Pascal-based language, but any more than that is asking a bit much from all
but the most mature parser generators.
