 > What type of attribute it should return? It can be
 std::vector<boost::variant<esc_ast, unicode_ast>> (where esc_ast and
 unicode_ast are inheriting from x3::position_tagged because you need this)
 or in can be simple std::string. I think you can't tell the attribute type
 just by looking at the rule.

 If esc_ast, unicode_ast can both be a string, then the natural attribute
 would be vector<std::string>. An attribute of std::string is just pushing
 it.
