Tom Lynn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Yes, that's right. The binary aspect of it was something of a red herring, I'm afraid, although I still think that (or parsing in general) is an important use case. The prime motivation it that it's easy to either forget the '\Z' or to use '$' instead, which both cause subtle bugs. An exact() method might help to avoid that.
