This is a good first step.  However, I would rather see an error "unable to find
member ..." generated at the point of failure.  We should just make the mode of
translate_components be succeed-or-throw, and then the callers can be simpler.

For getting the right token, I would suggest changing the components vector's
element-type into a real struct (instead of just a std::pair), and then the
parsing token can be saved there.
