// The purpose of this example is to show how to parse arbitrary key/value 
// pairs delimited by some separator into a std::vector. The difference to 
// the example 'key_value_sequence.cpp' is that we preserve the order of the
// elements in the parsed seqeunce as well as possibly existing duplicates.
