Matthias Friedrich commented on CRUNCH-97:
------------------------------------------
Hmm, there's no way to influence the order in which fields are extracted, which
means I couldn't turn "1,2" into a (2, 1) tuple, for example. This means I
can't always get a tuple where my business key is the first element, which
seems to be a common convention. As a user I would probably use Parse for
prototyping and roll my own for production. I think this whole Scanner stuff
isn't very well suited for this use case, so -0 from me.
