As a side note, it can be tough to use Demeter (in its current state)
to parse a predefined syntax.  You may want to make some sort of
preprocessor in awk or perl to translate the input file into an
intermediate form that Demeter can more easily parse, e.g. by putting
strings in double quotes or text in (@ @).

This theme comes up in every instance of this course. 
Try to find a project where
you control the input language and if you cannot, use a preprocessor
as described above.
