Also, if your input starts with certain errors, parse returns
the stuff after the error:
   > parse()
   ?err//one
   expression(one)


After the attached change we get

   > parse()
   ?one
   expression(one)
   > parse(n=2)
   ?one;two;three
   expression(one, two)
   > parse()
   ?err//one
   Error in parse() : unexpected '/' in "err//"
