I'd like to be able to use REs to generate lists of strings. For
example, it might be nice to create a loop such as:
for $i (sort(p:p5|[0-9A-F]{2}|)) { # "p" operator for "production"?
and have $i walk from '00' through 'FF'. Or whatever.
I created a specialized macro-preprocessor several years ago, in order
to mechanize the production of families of related class definitions
for C++ (Feh!). It was amazingly powerful, even in the primitive form
I implemented. I wonder whether the A5 REs could be coerced to serve
in a more powerful and integrated manner in Perl6.
