Not quite true; I tried for Ada mode. But I ended up rewriting the
parser to be generalized LALR; see
http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html, and the
ada-mode package in Gnu ELPA.

That parser is missing the incremental features of wisent, mostly
because I ran out of steam.

I had also tried SMIE before that; it was not powerful enough for Ada.
