To follow up myself - how exact has parse to match sscanf behavior? Would it be ok to change the parse implementation to use a regular expression created out of the format (exchange all %'s with \(.*\)) and to have sscanf operate on the matched substrings with the format? So, basically, are there any concerns wrt compatibility?
