I'm not sure exactly what I have to do to avoid being "un-GNU", but 
here's my attempt at the same problem. I don't think the string parsing 
can be made any simpler.

In the documentation I changed a '@var' to '@code' because @var makes it 
upper case in the info and I thought that misleading. I also added a 
missing 'end' to the existing example.

OK?
