    A parser would collect digits and pass them off to INPUT-FIXNUM
    when it got them all.  I don't see any reason right off why
    anybody would really want to deal with the individual weights of
    individual characters.  Does anybody have any examples where you
    would?
Ok, the next version of FORMAT will autoload optimal strings so it
can "parse" the parameters.
