If your language extensions are compatible with the current Erlang
syntax, you can use smerl:for_file to get the intermediary abstract
forms, change them (there's a tiny bit of parsing here), then generate
the final abstract forms. However, if your language is not
syntactically compatible with Erlang, you do need a new parser.
