[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
If we add a regexp type, we would need to add several primitive
functions. I estimate it would make the Emacs Lisp reference Manual
10 pages longer. We would need a read syntax for them too.
Let's choose a solution which does not add a new data type.
