           ^^^^^^^
Given what you say below, this is inaccurate.

> Augusto pointed out a bug in `peg.el` when you have code like:

>       (digit () [0-9])
>       (nat   () digit (* digit))

>       (float () int "." nat))

>     (with-peg-rules
>         (myrules
>          (complex float "+i" float))
>       (peg-parse nat "," nat "," complex) )
>

I know nothing about peg.el, and you haven't explained the root cause
for the bug for me to understand why it "makes `define-peg-ruleset'
basically unusable", so let's hear from Stefan and Andrea first.
