Nice analysis!

Yes, we can make rules that will (often, not always) catch this sort of
thing.  The problem is they require a capturing group, and that is
relatively slow in Perl.  Further, it is reputed by many to slow down ALL
tests as soon as you put it into one test.  I don't know if this is really
true or not, but it is something that can be at least roughly measured in a
mass-check.

I'll see about doing some rules over the weekend to try this.

PS: A plugin would be another way of doing these, and theoretically would
not slow things down.  Someday I'm going to have to figure out how to write
a plugin...
