Not that I'm planning to do this :-), but would an MI parser written
in C that could be exported to Tcl, Python, etc. be of sufficient use
beyond the testsuite to entice someone to write one?  One can load C
modules into Tcl, and I'm guessing(!) the glue to make it usable to
the testsuite would be minimal.
