You just _think_ you are. Seriously, I think "rx" is one of the best little-known features of Emacs; _almost_ any regular expression can be written _much_ more clearly with it. One caveat, though, is that the version in Emacs 22 has lots more bells and whistles than the version in Emacs 21, so if portability is important to you, limit yourself to the Emacs 21 features (which are _still_ a huge improvement over writing them "raw"). -- Keaton, Chaplin, Garbo - let them now make room for Gromit.
