It's not unasked. I've asked it myself, in several variations. One variation I particularly like is whether there is a (practical) way to let the regexp compiler decide how far to climb the Chomsky ladder (and not to clutter/limit the `regexp language' or `the interface' with such performance considerations). Thanks for your insightful posts. -- tomas _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
