Interesting; just looked at Puma.  Syntax is not obvious.  Seems to  
allow tree grammar specification due to recursive references but  
doesn't call it that.  Allows patterns and predicates to match.  Has  
some interesting functionality similar to other tools.  My thoughts  
would lean more towards what Andy did but with some twists.

Andy Tripp arrives today at 2pm for discussions!  Hooray!
