I hope you are misremembering some details. I did that work while at
Elemental Security (i.e. before I joined Google). It should have
Elemental Security's contributor agreement. I developed that code
initially for inclusion in Elemental's product line (as part of a
parser for a domain-specific language named "Fuel" which did not get
open-sourced -- probably for the better.
