I've heard this a couple of times now, so while I had thought the
benefits spoke for themselves maybe they don't.
Well, I'd just like to clarify what the goal is here. Is it just to
provide an API that's nicer to use in a pool based app? Is it to
actually provide a portability layer that uses multiple back end regex
libraries (seems unlikely). I don't necessarily object if all you're
trying to do is make things work better with other apr type code, I
just want to clarify that it is in fact the goal.
