Parsing "%[0-9]+" doesn't strike me as being a terribly difficult.

And no, I'm not volunteering for any tasks. I'm pointing out a bug (simple
valid code that won't compile) and asking you guys nicely to fix it. That's
what a *-bugs mailing list is for. If you don't want to fix it, then I'll
just have to live with a broken compiler, but you shouldn't expect me to be
happy about it.

Cheers - Tony :)
