I am working on a regexp engine written entirely in Ruby. My friend Mark
Sparshatt are working on a perl6 parser for it. When I am done
implementing a more efficient scanner routine, I will look into the perl6
parser also.

It will be able to support a wide range of inputs formats, because it
internally uses iterators.
