Description

The pub API of ra_ap_mbe 0.0.104 stops short with DeclarativeMacro, which we can parse into using the public API, but can't use because the parser module is private, and all the goodies like MetaTemplate and Op can't be used.

Can we make this part of ra_ap_mbe public? Maybe I don't get the API I'm supposed to use, but I'm not familiar with the design and documentation is hard to come by :-)

Research direction

Start with the public ra_ap_mbe API and DeclarativeMacro entry point described in the issue, then inspect the private parser module and the MetaTemplate and Op types. Determine the intended public surface and documentation needs; done means consumers can use the parsing results and related types through a supported public API.
