💅 PARAMETERS 💅

• VF_PARSER_T *p_parse — the parser itself, the main character of this whole operation 🫶
• char *p_chars — the new characters we're parsing into the object, fresh text just dropped ✨
• int numchars — how many new characters there are. the count. the receipts. 💯

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: parse the indicated text into the object that's associated with the VPARSE_T. that's it, that's the job 💖

heads up bestie — go read the notes for vf_parse_init() too, they matter here 👀
