+       Support parametric types.
+
+       There are two issues to handle: first scanning nested angle
+       bracket pairs to support types such as std::pair< std::string,
+       std::list<std::string> > >.
+
+       Another issue is to address idiosyncracies of C++: do not glue two
+       closing angle brackets together (otherwise it's operator>>), and
+       avoid sticking blindly a TYPE to the opening <, as it can result
