1 thousands lines of code? wow.

I appreciate the work and thought put into this, but pattern does the same
thing (and in my opinion in a more elegant way) in 30 loc. (i.e.
https://github.com/dscape/p/blob/master/pattern.js)

i also have a hard time with people saying a string for pattern matching is
elegant. wondering if anyone here ever used haskell :)
