 - There are side conditions on AST instances. It would be nice to
   eventually be able to express these within the metaschema.

+ - It'd be interesting to,
+   [Ometa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMeta)-like, be able to
+   specify the DSL-to-AST translation process as a schema. One
+   challenge in doing so is the way schemas are required to be
+   *reversible* at present.
