If you are going to do this, keep in mind that the text being
searched in Unicode and that introduces a WHOLE LOT of issues when
trying to apply RegEx concept to it. In fact, the Unicode Consortium
has an entire white paper on the problems with implementing RegEx
over a Unicode stream - and doing it correctly. Check out
<http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/index.html> for all the
gory details.
