Very interesting piece of work, thank you for sharing!

Accidentally I was working on something similar, so far limited to 
parsing named.conf and rndc.conf grammars.

Very-much-work-in-progress can be seen here:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/pspacek/arm-utils/doc/misc/parsegrammar.py

I think it is a good idea to generalize the code to  consume 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/pspacek/arm-utils/doc/misc/options 
files as much as possible because the grammar _is_ changing, albeit 
slowly. It becomes more pressing when migrating between versions etc.

Feel free to approach me if you want to exchange ideas and code!
