I know, but the ToDo list in the unit says:

  TODO:
     - correct backtracking, for example in (...)*
     - | support
     - getting substrings and using substrings with \1 etc.
     - test ^  and $
     - newline handling in DOS?
     - locals dependend upper/lowercase routines
     - extend the interface

If I find no better unit, I will probably improve this one.
