1. Everyone should acknowledge the JWZ quote, "Some people, when
confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use regular expressions.'
Now they have two problems." Regular expressions are Perl's hammer that
makes most problems look like a nail.
2. Before someone spends too much time putting the finishing touches on
old Unix/Perl regular expression syntax, they might want to look at Olin
Shivers's SREs. Sexp-based regular expression syntax can be a big
readability win when your regexps get complicated.
