Please do. It will help the MetaRuby project eventually. I'd need a regexp
parser written in Ruby, and an interpreter for those too. I'd like an
output similar to the one defined in MetaRuby's RubySchema.rb (but for a
first version it doesn't need to be that way... as long as regexps get
parsed correctly)
