   * Parses a non-null string in a ClearSilver compatible way.

   * The is the underlying parsing function which can fail for badly formatted strings. It is really
   * important that anyone doing parsing of strings calls this function (rather than doing it
   * themselves).
   *
   * This is an area where JSilver and ClearSilver have some notable differences. ClearSilver relies
   * on the template compiler to parse strings in the template and a different parser at runtime for
   * HDF values. JSilver uses the same code for both cases.
   *
   * In ClearSilver HDF: Numbers are parsed sequentially and partial results are returned when an
   * invalid character is reached. This means that {@code "123abc"} parses to {@code 123}.
   *
   * Additionally, ClearSilver doesn't do hex in HDF values, so {@code "a.b=0x123"} will just
   * resolve to {@code 0}.
   *
   * In ClearSilver templates: Hex is supported, including negative values.
   *
   * In JSilver: A string must be a complete, valid numeric value for parsing. This means {@code
   * "123abc"} is invalid and will default to {@code 0}.
   *
   * In JSilver: Positive hex values are supported for both HDF and templates but negative values
   * aren't. This means a template containing something like "<?cs if:foo == -0xff ?>" will parse
   * correctly but fail to render.
   *
   * @throws NumberFormatException is the string is badly formatted
