so i went out and bought this book (i had not read the first edition), and
it is indeed beauteous and wonderful.  i thought i knew how to use regular
expressions, and i still managed to learn things in the first chapter!

i thought i should mention, though, in case anyone was going to buy it for
its Ruby content, that if you look in the index you will find maybe a
half-dozen references to Ruby in the whole book.
