Hm. All our sins come back to haunt us ;-) I had a more humble target: just have an interface (for which we'd have to decide, among lots of other things, whether this interface forbids higher levels in the Chomsky hierarchy and enforces `true' regexps, as seems to be Tom's approach --and he knows a lot about regexps--) or not).
