Well, what is a one-liner? I mean, behind each one-liner in perl lies
probably a lot of code that implements that feature in perl. The
difference here is that the particular feature you wanted wasn't
implemented in Emacs. Yet.

Some day maybe someone will propose this command to be added to Emacs
and then it will be "built-in"... :)

And, if you paste Pascal's example into your .emacs file it will, for
all practical purposes, built-in.
