One important thing that I didn't point out.  The "name" member 
is the column's name.  (Remember that I was thinking of 
delimited files for import into a database when I wrote these 
classes.)

Thus, a more sensible application might have something like
employeeListParser = DelimFldParser((EnumField('Department',('HR','IT')),
                                     DelimParserField('Name'),
                                     NumericRngField('Salary',0,500000)))

If anyone uses this stuff, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
