I've had the case where I needed to retain formatting information for a
number (general, fixed, scientific) and was nicely accomplished by
extending the policy, but needed to have a begin_parse() and end_parse()
for the policy to be complete. It seems that it makes some sense or is
this accomplished another way? Maybe something to consider for policies
in general?
