You can use std.conv.to instead or assign the slice to a variable first.
This is a bit of a FAQ I think because people don't realize you can use to and parse to do the same thing.
The big difference is parse will advance the slice you pass it past the item it reads, whereas to will try to convert the entire input.
That's why parse wants a ref slice, so it can move it forward. But since you're slicing it yourself, to is the way to go.
