Possibly.  From what I could tell this is pure ruby.  So it
offers a lot more flexibility than the C Regexp.  But, you
loose all of the speed advantage, right?  For my purposes, that
was the only reason I wanted to incorporate Regexp - because
Grammar will be able to do Regexp like stuff - and more.
