Julia,
Nicolas has implemented support for the regular expressions provided by PCRE, which to my understanding are more modern than those of OCaml (Str). Should we just drop the OCaml ones? Make a flag to choose between them? Choose between them inline, as in x ~= pcre:"str"?
Modern/ancient is not the issue. The question is which is most likely to be familiar to your users (who may not know Perl and are very unlikely to know OCaml) and which has the greater functionality? A quick scan of the brief man pages suggests that PCRE has greater functionality. Make PCRE the default with a switch for OCaml (Str)? -- Derek M.
