I've been thinking about how cool it would be to have just the Perl regexp
string search in a C/C++ library.  I'd like to do /^([^"])/$1 yeah/ using
any syntax that works on C and Pascal strings.  This would make string
handling in those language SO much easier!

I realize this is off-topic, but do such things exist?  Is that an aim of,
or done by, the B compiler?  Could anybody reply by email and point me to
greater harmony and happiness in this area?  :)
