Foo.parse('bc').Bool; # I don't think this is.

[1:38pm] tylercurtis: rakudo: grammar Foo { token TOP { 'b' } }; say
Foo.parse('ab').Bool; # Also right.
[1:38pm] p6eval: rakudo 19931f: OUTPUT«0␤»
[1:39pm] tylercurtis: Grammar.parse seems to anchor to the beginning
of the string but not to the end.

If I correctly understand the behavior of Grammar.parse and regex
methods, only "b" should match the Foo grammar above because regex
methods are automatically anchored to the beginning and end of the
string when called directly as Grammar.parse should do with Foo.TOP.
