6180	"attributes string ascii escape ""&#nn;"" shouldn't throw exception"	kondo@…	Sebastian Redl	"
In boost/property_tree/detail/rapidxml.hpp

At member function template 
{{{
template<class StopPred, class StopPredPure, int Flags>
static Ch *skip_and_expand_character_refs(Ch *&text)
}}}

It supports escape ""&amp;"", ""&quot;"", ""&gt;"", ""&lt;"" and ""&#nn;"". (nn is number, xnn is also supported. When the member function template find the charactor '&' it starts parsing. And if it couldn't find the correct match, escape string is ignore and just copy '&' verbatim. But in the case of ""&#nn"", the error below would occur. And this error throw the parse_error exception.
{{{
BOOST_PROPERTY_TREE_RAPIDXML_PARSE_ERROR(""expected ;"", src);
}}}

I expect just ignore instead of the error. This behavior is same as other escape string's manner.

I attached patch. Could you check it?
