Wow.  Never would have thought to try that.  Escaping in YAML/Jinja is such an 
unintuitive mess.  Thanks so much, Andrew.

It is easier though when you use single quotes for the arguments of the 
regex_replace filter.

    I did this in a hurry, so there may be mistakes or more awesome ways of 
doing this. YMMV

        Trying to follow along, So on Task 3 you want to iterate over the list 
t_list and match if the digit is in variable s? First thought is that you are 
testing if an int is a string.

            Hey all - I think I'm losing my mind.  Can anyone explain why every 
iteration of task 3 is being skipped (compare w/ task 2, especially)?
