<p>Namely it still attempts to parse the files with piraha but then throws away the result.</p>
<p>The user visible side effect is that if piraha aborts (due to malformed ccl file that the old parser would have accepted) then one can no longer compile the code.</p>
<p>This is a problem if one wants to do some bisection to find errors in a mixed old / new code basis.</p>
<p>We should either remove the old parser completely or make it possible to completely skip any piraha parsing.</p>
