No, this won't be possible because parsing functions will only differ by the
return type.

If you are looking for a uniform way to perform parsing/serialization, then
you may want to consider using the element type and element map features.
See the 'messaging' example and Section 2.9, "Mapping for Global Elements"
in the C++/Tree Mapping Manual:
