------------------------------------------------------------

Not bad. The single most tricky thing we need to cover as well that comes to my mind are multiline doctext-comments vs normal multiline comments. Have a look at THRIFT-3709, there are some good test cases. Depends on the parser if we can handle this using syntax alone, or if additional treatment is needed.

> As a developer I want to use boost spirit to get rid of lex and yacc.
> This kicks dependency to lex, flex, yacc, bison or what ever.
> This makes building easier, because only c++ code must be compiled.
> All grammar is inside the code - all c++. No need to learn ll and yy.
