Regular expressions

I've just uploaded this to the code archives, but I think a lot of the stuff up there goes unnoticed, so I'm posting about it here as well.

I've written a regular expression compiler/matcher, very sloppily and kludgily, but it works. I'm sure someone will find a use for this, it's the kind of thing grown ups have in their programming languages.

If this inspires anyone to write a nice clean version with a properly defined set of FSA operations and some more regexp features, that'd be grand.

Brucey already has a Regex module, but nice to have alternatives :)

does he really? I still don't know how to get new modules working, so I'm missing out on all brucey's work.
