difference is
>> parse "hello" [to end skip]
== false
>> parse "hello" [skip to end]
== true
[to end skip] will stop, but gives false.
our "workarounds" gives true but are not so obvious.
i would like to get "stop" and "true", and somehow,
[thru end] would make sense to me (its what one thinks of first?)
