Hi!

I am trying to check user input with ORO.
I want to give the user a detailed message about his mistake,
e.g. the 5th character ":" is invalid.

But as far as I can see, I can get no information from ORO
about such things in the case of a mismatch.
I only get a boolean (true = matched, false = mismatch).
I get no information which character was invalid at which position,
especially the first non-matching character.

Is this true? Or have I overseen something in the API?
If true, is it difficult to extend ORO for this?
