You seem confused. You seem to think that I care about the proper way to program using templates and parser functions. That's not true, they are an ugly hack and I recognize that. If have absolutely no desire to learn how to use something so hideously inefficient in an efficient manner.
Then you shouldn't be presenting examples of how it can't be implemented reasonably in template programming.
Almost any _reasonable programming language_ allows you to write ugly code if so you want. That doesn't prove the language is ugly.
Nonetheless... it's ugly :)
