Whilst you can probably use the ReadS (or ReadP if you don't care
about backwards compatability) parsers for the Read class to do this,
I highly recommend you instead learn and use a proper parsing library
such as parsec, polyparse or uuparsing-lib for this (as you'll
undoubtedly be wanting to do more extensive parsing at a later date).
