I couldn't verify this (I only got 'true' returned, but that's obvious ;o),
but I believe 'any is what does that precisely:
a: "ads1dgfuihdf2iofj6pfg5idgfi6idfsgp7gfhi8"
parse a [any ["5" "6"] to end]
My mastery of parse doesn't extend to actually proving this, but I believe
this means 'parse stops at the first of the two it encounters, just like you
wanted, right? =)
