Technically correct
Pragmatically: its like saying a meal that costs a penny, 100 EURO and 10K EURO
are all the same.
In C, access to parsing /unparsing is one of open up gcc/use lex/yacc
In python, it is use the introspective module(s)
In lisp its one call (read)/(print) -- at most; none if the REPL is used
effectively
