This link is just for explaining what LGram is. It's not Carbone.

This link should show where my ruby-parser rests, but it won't be a part of
Carbone.

Excuse me, I din't explain well.

The project Carbone is currently not publicly accessible; it rests on my
hard disk. So your answer can't apply to them. Those two links that I gave are
related to my project, but they are not my project. Both, my ruby-parser and
matju's MetaRuby will rest extern to Carbone.
