I only know about this Java feature from having seen that the 'static'
is optional, while reading some grammar or other.  I've never used it,
other then to prove to myself that javac actually accepts the syntax :)

Anyway, a more basic option; just add some setter-methods and use a
'builder' pattern to obtain parser instances?  Might be easier to write
unit tests that way...
