Chris,

I am concerned about a few things in doing that. Maybe you can answer these
concerns since you wrote it 

1. How fast is it compared to PCRE?
2. How complete is it?
3. How complex is it to maintain?

#3 is pretty important, because as we add to the Euphoria library we are not
only making new functions available to everyone, but we are taking on a large
amount of code to maintain as well. So, when something needs updated now, it's up
to the Euphoria developers to do so, no the author of lib ABC, or whatever. Now,
hopefully user DEF will say hey, ABC has a bug, here's a test to exploit that bug
and here's the patch to fix that bug, but we will see.
