        /**
           Parses 'line' into a key/value pair. To be parseable the line must be in the form:

           key=value

           Extra whitespace around the '=' is removed, as are leading and
           trailing whitespace around the key and value. This behaviour is
           arguable but probably desireable in most cases (it is in all of
           mine, and i wrote the damned thing ;).

           todo: add a whitespace removal policy as optional 3rd argument?

           delimiter is the string which separates the key and
           value, so a line in the format:
    
           key{alternateDelimiter}value...
    
           (minus the braces) is parseable.

           That is:
           parse( "one;two",";" )
           results in key() == "one" and value() == "two"

           This function returns false if it does not consider the line to be parseable.
           Use key() and value() to get the parsed values. Use line() to get the whole
           string passed to parse (as if you'd ever need it, though subclasses might).
           line() /is/ guaranteed to be set to line by this call, unlike key() and value().
       
           If this function returns false, the values returned by key() and value()
           cannot be considered reliable (i.e., they are undefined).

           This function will return false if a line contains no key (like
           '=value'), but empty values are not an error (i.e., they will not
           cause this function to return false).
