Well, I recognize that your focus was not on parsing.  However, I don't feel
that perl-abstractness is a key deliverable of perl.  My comment was
primarly on how the world might be a better place with reg-ex's not getting
into algorithms that are better solved elsewhere.  I just thought it might
help your cause if you expanded your rationale.
