If by "parse" you mean "match", the answer is yes because you can express a context-free language in PCRE.

If you mean "parse" then it's probably annoying, as all parser generators are, because they're bad at error messages when something has invalid syntax.



Is this true, in practice, given the lenient parsing requirements of the real world?
