>From the description of parse:
'takes the input by reference and advances it to the position following the
conversion'

This is intentional API design, and therefore not a bug.

The compiler used to be very sloppy about what it accepted as an lvalue, so
those test cases did work at one point.

The workaround is just to use 'to' instead of 'parse', which takes an rvalue
argument.
