Comment (by hinder):
Regarding the $ signs in the proposed solution in the summary. Why are they necessary? I believe that Cactus used to support "global parameters" which would not have a double-colon as they don't have a thorn, but these are not used, and I think the new parser doesn't support them anyway. So an assignment of the form x = y should be unambiguous. The $ signs seem unnecessary (and would have to be quoted if you used this feature from a python rpar script).
