/** Parse one line from an text input stream and interpret it as a CARMEN log
  *entry,
  *  returning its MRPT observation representation.
  *
  * The first word in each line determines the type of that entry. Supported
  *  line entries in this class are the following:
  *             - "ROBOTLASER(.*)": A joint odometry-laser entry. This function will
  *return
  *both an mrpt::obs::CObservationOdometry and an
  *mrpt::obs::CObservation2DRangeScan
  *             - "FLASER": (Idem)
  *             - "RLASER": (Idem)
  *             - "PARAM": This case is special (read below).
  *
  *  Note that the sensor position on the robot will be always deduced from the
  *corresponding CARMEN log line automatically.
  *
  *  The following entry types will be IGNORED, since with the tags above will
  *be enough in most applications.
  *             - "ODOM"
  *             - "RAWLASER"
  *
  * About the PARAM entries: This functions has an internal static status
  *consisting on some PARAM values
  *  which have effects on the future read observations. When the function finds
  *one of these, it stores the
  *  parameter value, return an empty vector of observations, and use those
  *values for future laser entries of types FLASER or RLASER.
  * Currently, only these parameters are processed:
  *             - "robot_front_laser_max"
  *             - "laser_front_laser_resolution"
  *             - "robot_rear_laser_max"
  *             - "laser_rear_laser_resolution"
  *
  *  \param time_start_log The real timestamp that corresponds to a "0" in the
  *CARMEN log (you can get a mrpt::system::now() once and pass that same value
  *with each call).
  *
  * References: http://carmen.sourceforge.net/doc/binary__loggerplayback.html
  *
  * \return true on success, false on end-of-file (EOF).
  * \exception std::runtime_error On any invalid line found.
