Where are the code parsers?!?

Why did Microsoft not provide the CodeParser objects for the
VBCodeDomProvider and CSharpCodeDomProvider objects? I'm trying to build an
editor which handles Intellisense and without the parsers I'm basically left
either building my own parser for every supported language, or else doing
without?
 
I believe it was for practical reasons, maybe combined with some deadlines approaching. I am currently writing a code parser for C#, and believe me, there are MANY problems. These problems stem partly from the fact that CodeDOM only supports a subset of features found in common languages, and partly from its poor design. However, I agree that CodeDOM is less attractive without code parsers
