Comment (by dmsnell):

 I’ve proposed in [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/10761 PR#10761] a revert of the changes to remove the parser
 from Core. Ironically, the parser files were previously being copied in
 the same exact way as they are in this updated build, but by `webpack`
 instead of a new generated script. This ticket //did not have to change
 the way the parser is maintained// and really should be handled in another
 ticket: that ticket is #64521. Perhaps it would have been less disruptive
 to either not address the parser question in this ticket (since it wasn’t
 necessary or related to the other changes) or to have made the structural
 changes first before attempting it.

 While reviewing the changes in [https://github.com/dmsnell/wordpress-
 develop/pull/27 dmsnell#27] I noticed also that we are attempting to
 manually parse PHP code using regular expressions and basic parsing in JS,
 even though we should have PHP available. @youknowriad did you consider
 using PHP to evaluate the files and return a reliable JSON-serialization
 of their data?
