This mystifies me but I have heard this before. There is no compelling need to add a EUPHORIA builtin when you are just adding routines. Regex is in the backend, but the only reasons I remember given is to get rid of the need of adding dll files to the distribution of EUPHORIA and for speed.
Regex can be compiled as a dll and then added via the dll interface. As developers we could have done it that way. It would have been easier and less bug prone. If dll is too slow we ought to work out how we can make it faster.

Forked from Re: Future direction and purpose of Euphoria?
I think that there would be more contributions to Euphoria if some knowledgeable person
would document in "complete detailed" how to add a built-in "euphoria coded" function to the
source code.
This is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for the average user to contribute ideas.
The only documentation for adding to the source is still in a 2.x document which was
included by Rob years ago.
