Re: [Spirit Qi %] (x%y) not semantically equivalent to (x >> *(y >> x))

This would mean that qi::lit was semanitically equivalent with qi::string (under certain (usage) conditions).  This should be mentioned somewhere in docs. 

When talking about qi semantics I mean what attributes do I get. Same attributes, same semantics. I think we do not talk about same thing here. 

You are right. I am not talking about semantics of the parsed language but about the semantics of qi itself. What does  a programmer expect to get if you use a particular idiom?

I expect to get a string when i use the string parser explicitly.
