Much appreciated, in fact. My feeling is that having a sophisticated and potentially fast system like the one you have described could be quite valuable, but I think it may still be useful to many people to have built-in support for a well known regular expression syntax as well, perhaps perl (via libpcre), elisp, or POSIX. This would afford a standard syntax that many people are already familiar with, and one that's fast enough for a substantial number of jobs. With respect to which syntax we might choose, I don't really have a strong preference for one or the other, but my default inclination might be libpcre since it's the syntax that both perl and python support and since the author has offered to let us use the source. In any case, thanks for all the information. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
