The code above does not implement PCRE. And so some people would have issues with it. And then we'd end up having add PCRE support too, while continuing to support both the fast regular expression in the extension above for backwards compatibility. This is a nightmare that I don't want to get mixed up with if I don't have to. -- D. Richard Hipp drh at sqlite.org
