+    :param value: a value of a specific type, or `false` if no value is given
+    :type value: T | false
+    :param Object options: various options

+The `parsers` registry contains functions to parse values. Each parser 
+has the following API:

+    Parses a string and returns a value. If the string does not represent a valid
