yes, but I didn't write what I meant, at least not clearly.

What I was trying to say was that rather than hack the parser, one could 
just insert a line feed fixer _before_ the parser, INSIDE eval and 
friends, essentially moving the python code I wrote, into eval. I can't 
imagine this would be hard, but it wouldn't get you any performance 
benefits over just writing one extra line of python.
