any pointer to the sourcecode so bosko (and others) can profit from that ?

actually you can implement a parser/interpretor, whatever you name it,
in kernel space. And you can send the
function code from user space to kernel space by device driver
interface. the parser can parse that and do something
practical function in kernel.

I have worked on a similar task in a product powered by linux. It works great.
