We do not have much input on how you want to use your stuff. Why, in your
least-squares implementation, do you need to your parser several times?

Also, you should consider how far you want to go with your parser: If you
just want to work with it a few weeks more, then you should try to find
some simplifications. But if you want to successively build it out
something more "professional", then the "closure" building is the way to go.
