I'm not sure what that is and the perl links you gave don't work, but it sounds evil. Basically it sounds like an even uglier form of regexp backtracking than what we have now. Regexps are just not the right framework for implementing such complex parsers. We should instead have some more general parser library instead of keeping on jamming more crap into regexps. There's a famous Zawinski quote that I won't repeat here since I don't want to wear it out. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
