You call it extreme, I label it ambitious.

Also, "getting rid of it" really means "no need to change it anymore".
I'd rather have a static complex regexp than a simple customizable one
for the sake of syntax consistency. Of course, a fixed simple regexp is
better (and no regexp at all is even better).

Which is basically "getting rid of it". See above.

I agree. This is not a priority, I wasn't clear on this point.

That is what they want us to believe! :)
