Really? fully lazy parsers are notoriously tricky, which parsing library
do you use? I keep wanting to switch jhc to packrat parsing
http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~baford/packrat/

actually, any monadic formulation would be better than 'happy'for me
because with pre-generated parsers you can't change your parse rules on
the fly easily, like depending on what extensions are enabled.
