Close enough, I think.  At least for most needs.  I've never felt any
real frustration over a lack of support.  It's mostly the syntax that
I have to keep in mind - even for those few changes (e.g.
backreferences - $1 vs. \1).  Just have to remember where I'm doing
the trial and map it correctly to the implementation.

Sometimes that's the source of the "error" in trial and error.  :-)
