The new parser, which essentially builds an abstract syntax tree with
loadable types, would be much better done in C++. The parser works, but
it depends on the generic modules code, so it's not a candidate short
term anyway. Includes were a simple recursion, with no depth limit. (If
you include an already included file, squid's declaritive syntax will
guarantee confusion anyway).
