I think I agree Tom's position upthread: blaming the coercion seems to
me to make more sense.  But if that's what we're trying to do, then
why does parse_coerce() say this?

        /*
         * Set up to point at the constant's text if the input routine throws
         * an error.
         */

/me is confused.
