Detailed Description
       shevek::istring is a C++ version of scanf.

       It uses templates to allow expanding it to user-defined types, but it still uses a format string to make it better translatable.

Member Function Documentation
   template<typename T > static T shevek::istring::direct (Glib::ustring const &data, Glib::ustring const &format, Tdef = T ()) [inline, static]
       Read a variable from given data and return it. This allows using a shevek::istring in an expression without the need to create a new
       variable for it. If the input doesn't match the format, def is returned.

   int shevek::istring::pop (boolkeep = false)
       Pop the last pushed position from the stack. If keep is true or not given, the current position is restored to the last position. If it is
       false, the current position is not changed.
