well, the first and most important thing would be providing an HTML

Currently I think we should simply state that we'll rely on the
underlying implementation to provide all this and not bother with it
any longer.  The aim of the framework should be to provide an
abstraction over the various regexp packages available - but that
abstraction should be limited to what Ant currently needs.  Thus I
think we should simply drop MatcherWrappedAsRegexp - thoughts?

They've been pretty much the same - one extends <replace> in a way
that token and value get a different meaning in this task's context.
The nice side effect of this is, that it allows for multiple tokens,
something the replaceregexp task should do as well IMHO.
