One thing to keep in mind is that the textdump format was never
intended for general programming, but was just a sortof human readable
format for portability and break fixes. Thus, it is not resilient to
parsing variabilities (such as a method MUST end with '};NL'), etc.
Just keep this in mind when editing (and if you feel like it, go ahead
and write a yacc module for the textdump format which imports the
coldc format for methods :)
