Matthias Friedrich commented on CRUNCH-97:
------------------------------------------

Like Gabriel, I think a text parsing library would be a useful addition and I'm 
sorry for being unable to offer a design that covers all use cases. We need 
more feedback, perhaps someone else has a good idea, but I guess that'll only 
happen when it's part of the release or at least part of the source tree. How 
about adding it to contrib or add a beta marker to the javadoc and ask for 
feedback? This way we can still change it in case we come up with the perfect 
design (whatever that is) and users get a fair warning that it's not stable yet.

> We should make it a bit easier to parse delimited text files into specific 
> data types (e.g., ints, floats, etc.) or combinations of types-- e.g., pairs 
> of strings and ints, a Tuple3 of booleans, etc.
