Cannot specify quartered or otherwise marshalled shields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. "Quarterly: I and IV gules a mullet argent; II and III argent a lozenge 
azure."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The parser chokes on "I".

This should render in the obvious way.

No, you say "Quarterly argent and gules." The first tincture defines the first 
and forth quarter, and the second one defines the second and third quarters. 
Doing something exotic like one tincture for each quarter isn't allowed in 
heraldry anyway.

It appears that this kind of blazon is valid. For instance, see

Well in that case you are requesting support for a new blazon element. That 
will likely be possible with the upcoming parser rewrite. I however would 
suggest a more fluid syntax that simply counts the number of fields stated and 
then adjusts itself accordingly.
