out of curiosity, do either the guile pattern matcher, or Norvig's,
operate on structures (lists of lists, etc) rather than just on strings?

Just asking out of curiosity; I maintain a pattern matcher for a
different project; it does pattern matching on arbitrary directed
graphs (equivalently, more or less, on terms in a term algebra).
Its used to implement queries against a database-like collection
of terms. (this is for the OpenCog project)
