// This example shows how a user-defined class can be parsed using
// specific mechanism -- not the iostream operations used by default.
//
// A new class 'magic_number' is defined and the 'validate' method is overloaded
// to validate the values of that class using Boost.Regex.
// To test, run
//
// regex -m 123-456
// regex -m 123-4567
//
// The first invocation should output:
//
// The magic is "456"
//
// and the second invocation should issue an error message.
