This returns "true"
But what if I'm trying to parse a report and wish to make each
paragraph a separate string within a block?
>> paragraphs: {First paragraph.^/Second "paragraph."^/Third
paragraph.}
== {First paragraph.
Second "paragraph."
Third paragraph.}

== []

** Script Error: foreach expected data argument of type: series.
** Where: foreach paragraph parse paragraphs [some [thru ".^/" | thru
{."} | thru "." end]]
Doesn't work.
Sorry if I'm being a pain, but when I read the "parse rules"
documentation it doesn't make any sense to me. I can't see the
usefulness of returning "true" in this situation.
