    //! Generic code to parse a period -- no matter the period type.
    /*! This generic code will parse any period using a facet to
     *  to get the 'elements'.  For example, in the case of a date_period
     *  the elements will be instances of a date which will be parsed
     *  according the to setup in the passed facet parameter.
     * 
     *  The steps for parsing a period are always the same:
     *  - consume the start delimiter
     *  - get start element
     *  - consume the separator 
     *  - get either last or end element depending on range settings
     *  - consume the end delimeter depending on range settings
     *
     *  Thus for a typical date period the contents of the input stream
     *  might look like this:
     *@code
     *
     *    [March 01, 2004/June 07, 2004]   <-- closed range
     *    [March 01, 2004/June 08, 2004)   <-- open range
