	  Position at which to start the parsing in $value (zero-based).
	  If no error occurs before $value is consumed, $parse_pos will contain -1
otherwise it will contain the position at which parsing ended (and the error occurred).
          This variable will contain the end position if the parse fails.
	  If $parse_pos > strlen($value), the parse fails immediately.
