Thanks Peter, I very much like this generator solution. It will work for
all situations I can currently think of.
However, one thing remains. It is based on the _format_parser method.
And as I wrote in my original post this one - since it starts with _ -
suggests to me to better not be used. So if using this method is
completely ok, why does it start with _, why is it almost undocumented?
Or did I miss something, some docs somewhere?
Best regards
Andre
