I think it *must* be. Perhaps this is the underlying premise that bothers me
in the present discussion. Everybody is talking about regexp/find as the
common operations, but the truth is that we *all* have built lexers and
parsers, because we have *all* dealt with user input issues at some point.
It's not as specialized a problem as people here are trying to paint it.

I may be reading too much in to various statements. I definitely agree that
regexp/find are very very important. It's just that I feel the low-level
stuff has to work too.
