Actually, it is an "alternation" in regex terminology, not "logical or".

No, I just didn't want to have one several-thousand-character-long-line in my file (well, my list isn't that long yet, but it will likely grow). As a side effect, alternation tends to sap quite a bit more CPU resources for an NFA engine and more memory for a DFA enging (see the O'Reilly book for a somewhat-detailed-yet-still-simplfied explanation). -D -- (E)very (M)inor (A)ttention (C)osts (S)anity
