I was thinking that it would be nice to have the facility to apply a perl substitution 
to the body and or the headers before the tests are done. 
So you could do
header_substitute subject =~ s/[\*\^_$:.,]//g

But in fact you never need to do that
in your example
header EXAMPLE subject =~ /t?h?i?s?i?s?a?n?e?x?a?m?p?l?e/i

Is functionally equivalent
