IAstNode interface

Outlining is a big one but a mostly, the IAstNode is just a really nice framework that you can use for implementing IntelliPrompt population code and determining context for your language. All those sorts of things are written in your code though.

Couple notes, even though a language isn't LL(k), a lot of times you can tweak some things to make it work almost all the time. For instance C# definitely isn't LL(k) but we were able to do some complex peek operations at times where there is ambiguity to make a good guess at what is happening and it works pretty well.

Even if you do write your own parser, you can use our AstNodeBase class since that will have a lot of AST node core code that you would probably have to write on your own anyhow. It would be a time saver.

True, I could use your AstNodeBase implementation, or I may reimplement those few things I need from it (recursive searching, visitor support, etc.) using the generics support of C# 2.0. I have built my own ASTs a few times in C#, and there are a lot of nice ways of doing this in 2.0 that couldn't be used for 1.1, so I'd like to take advantage of them - it'll make hand-coding the node classes much easier.

Also, another thing - is the visitor stuff used anywhere besides the outlining support and the recursive searching for nodes?

No I don't believe so.
