Qi parse retval vs iterators

Hello,

Thanks for the help past couple of days.

Something of a mind bender for me, how is it that qi::parse(...) can
succeed (return true) and yet the iterator still not reach the end?

Is it really that appropriate for attribution to occur when that is the case?

Or would it be appropriate to test for that returning, say from a user
try_parse(...)?

i.e. return parse(first, last, g, result) && first == last;

Specifically WRT the uint_parser<uint8_t, 10, 1, 3>() rule.

Which "parses" 199 "successfully" (loosely speaking) from "1990", but
first does not reach the end, and so "0" is remaining.

I should think that if there were any remaining input that would be a
failure to match?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Michael Powell
