@petrisch it is! And 9 is the argument to verbose key. Some old-school #UNIX tools would not tokenise their parses and just go left to right.
One can easily imagine a parser that doesn't tokenise!
Combinatorially:
```
(string "-V" <> many (string " ") <> number <> many (string " ")) *> filename
```
@petrisch I prefer such parsing style. Imagine writing `rsync -P -a -v -e ...` versus `rsync -Pave ...`.
