I don't want this to spiral down to Micah bashing. He has brought a lot of good energy to the project, and gotten things moving forward nicely. Thanks. I know of instances where this option would be useful for me, and others have chipped in. I think we all agree it isn't perfect and there is no

what definition of regexp would you be following? or would this be making up something new? I'm not quite understanding the comment about the comma and needing escaping for literal commas. this is true for any character in the regexp language, so why the special concern for comma? I do like
