boost::date_time::string_parse_tree — Recursive data structure to allow efficient parsing of various strings.

This class provides a quick lookup by building what amounts to a tree data structure. It also features a match function which can can handle nasty input interators by caching values as it recurses the tree so that it can backtrack as needed.

construct/copy/destructstring_parse_tree(collection_type names, unsigned int starting_point = 0);
Parameter "starting_point" designates where the numbering begins. A starting_point of zero will start the numbering at zero (Sun=0, Mon=1, ...) were a starting_point of one starts the numbering at one (Jan=1, Feb=2, ...). The default is zero, negative vaules are not allowed

short match(std::istreambuf_iterator< charT > & sitr, std::istreambuf_iterator< charT > & stream_end, parse_match_result_type & result, unsigned int & level) const;Recursive function that finds a matching string in the tree.
Must check match_results::has_remaining() after match() is called. This is required so the user can determine if stream iterator is already pointing to the expected character or not (match() might advance sitr to next char in stream).
A parse_match_result that has been returned from a failed match attempt can be sent in to the match function of a different string_parse_tree to attempt a match there. Use the iterators for the partially consumed stream, the parse_match_result object, and '0' for the level parameter.
