I don't think so...

I remember our discussion. What you need primarily, if I recall
correctly, is the ability for a semantic action to recursively
invoke the parser itself. This happens to work if the parser is
defined as a recursive function, and does not (currently) work
when the parser is defined as a functor, because the functor is
not declared as recursive. We could, in principle, make it a
recursive functor, which would allow recursive invocations.
