Hi Seth,

You know I did not give you credit for it because I failed to pick the idea 
up from your message.Yes you did mention the raw directive but it was buried 
inside a code fragment in which you demonstrated that you can have multiple 
semantic actions. So an communication approach like the following: "Hey, 
Maarten, for your goal of having these two
iterators you should use the raw parser directive. That is exactly invented 
for this." works much better at least with me.

I do appeciate your effort to give me the right suggestion, however.

Regards, Maarten
