The more I think about this, the more I think it's not .parse's job to fill in 
the field numbers, it's the job of whoever is calling it.

Just as it's not .parse's job to give you an error if you switch back and forth 
between numbered and un-numbered fields.

It's literally just telling you what's in the string as it breaks it apart, not 
assigning any further meaning to the parts. I guess I should have called it 
.lex, not .parse.
