I don't think this is an improvement.  It seems to me that a lot more
work is required to maintain these regular expressions, which while
straightforward are not entirely trivial (harder to read).

If we could come up with a reasonable format that is pre-processed to a
regexp, that might be better.  I think Thomas' proposed patch is closer
to that than Horiguchi-san's.
