Yes this would be the parsing code i think in the types package. That code
is in a heavy state of flux. Sorry for the premature commits

I was using it strictly for field level validation (in the set methods).
For what it is currently doing i think we could write a parser to do it
itself, but there are some other field level validations that are a little
more complicated. I agree
that expanding use of the regular expressions in general takes away from
the elegance, but I think using a tool specifically designed to match
patterns to check for complex patterns makes sense. However maybe it could
be executed better.
On the elegance, I think what I could do would be to take the Regular
expression calls directly out of the set methods and put them in a field
edit class.
I will address this today and email back the resolution.
