Yeah, I did think about doing this. That's why I made it a struct for
supplier_bindings instead of just an array of function pointers. But
having a parse function just for a strcmp() was creating a lot of code
noise. So went ahead and did it this way. We can keep it this way and
if we later see the need for a separate parse function, it should be
easy to do so (because it's already a struct for each binding).

I like the name "matched" over "found" that I had used locally. So, I
actually went ahead and did this.
