For instance, can you do this? (or "foo+" "bar+") If not, that might be good to add, so people can get the benefits of both formats. You could use the simple regexp constructs that are easy to read, and use rx instead of the uglier complex regexp constructs. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
