Yes, regexp would be a very hefty involvement (and very resource intensive).

The problem here is that it starts to get tricky doing this -- you're
dealing with something where you can either write code that will get the
job done slowly, or spend a lot of time fine-tuning the code to get it to
work in a reasonable amount of time.
It's definitely something for the wish list though... even if there is a
performance hit, people can always decide whether or not to use it. :)
