```
formats.text.TmuxText.parse(self) -> Option<T>
```

Parse these bytes as any type that reads from a string.

Returns `None` when the bytes are not UTF-8 or do not parse, so a
caller reading a numeric option does not have to check both.

## Example

```rust
use libtmux::TmuxText;

assert_eq!(TmuxText::from("2000").parse::<u32>(), Some(2000));
assert_eq!(TmuxText::from("many").parse::<u32>(), None);
```
