Why use regexen when you can just use junctions?
my $foos = 'foo' ~ any(0..9) ~ any(0..9);
That's a bit shorter that the code sample I just wrote... not by much
though :-P. Unfortunately, this one doesn't come in order, but a
C<sort> should fix that.
We have a I<powerful> language on our hands, people.
