You're probably better off representing this as a transformation
instead of an edit-in-place.

AFAIK, Spirit doesn't contain any mechanisms for modifying the input
-- that's considered beyond the scope of a parser.  You could probably
create your own out-of-band mechanism for doing it, but it would
probably mess up spirit's idea of where it is within the input as you
modified the input.
