+1 The code in SimpleExamples starts to get to this. Looks interesting and powerful. Either here or on the github readme you should take a stab at explaining a little more how hard problems using regex get easier with naomi, illustrated with some simple examples. Then maybe with help from community members here, you can develop some overview / getting started docs that help people get into the code.
