Potential issue with string example

[tomtau]

Currently the literals section of the book gives this as a string example:

string = { "\"" ~ (raw_string | escape)* ~ "\"" }

Is my understanding correct that this will parse " USA" as USA, discarding the initial , because the rule isn't atomic?

I'm having this issue myself. I'm getting around it by making the rule atomic, but it seems rules can't be atomic & silent, and so the parse tree contains the "s, which requires a bit more work downstream.

Thanks!
