Indeed you can always take a few minutes to walk the graph, but there is always
the option to spend weeks or even months to make that step automate-able :)
Will v4 interpreter-interpreter also generate a parse tree?

That's a good question. I think it will be easy. I will have a pointer to an
augmented transition network and memory with functions to return the next set of
tokens etc. Or, you can simply walk the graph to figure out what you would like
to do yourself :)
I have tested, just yesterday, and interpreted lexer and parser for simple HTML.
works really well, including calling out to some actions :) I'm having some evil
thoughts about parsing at the moment. more later when I have time to formalize
and try things out.
All indications are that this approach will yield lots of interesting things.
You can expect such a beast to be in v4.
