The regular expression incubator project is moving along at a fairly
good pace.  Most of the basics are now implemented and have unit
tests, so many of the standard expression types should be working now.
 Stuff I have yet to finish are:

1)  Unit tests for "lookarounds"
2)  Non-capturing groups
3)  Atomic non-capturing groups
4)  The various option flags, both on the compiler instance and as
flags in the expressions.
5)  Conditional patterns
6)  Reuseable patterns
7)  Tests for the parser class
8)  Tests for the split method
9)  Support for /Q /E qualifiers during parsing.


This is mostly a todo list to remind me of what I still need to do.
I'd love if people would start trying this out, or even better, start
writing tests cases for this.  It would be great to take something
like the Regular Expressions Cookbook and test out the different
expressions there in a test group.  Once I'm reasonable comfortable
with the quality of this, I'll start considering doing something like
building regex support into the parse instruction or using regex
filters on the new File class in 4.1 (hint, hint).  However, if there
really doesn't appear to be any interest in this, it will likely stay
in the incubator.
