This way, invocation can take place as:

Wow, that's a neat trick. I'll keep that in mind!
Yeah, I like it too: it makes the parser to fit into the iostreams
manipulator paradigm. Though, if one is using only one invocation of
the parser in the program, it perhaps less important.
If the type is known, one can omit the parser in the syntax. I have a
parser that manipulates a database. So then the syntax is
my::database db(...);
std::ifstream ifs(...);
...
ifs >> db; // Let the input parse manipulate the database.
If more that one parser can manipulate the database, it would be
better to include it, as above.
