The reason I like the grammar usage is I don't mind embedding code 
inside of a grammar, but I don't like the idea of embedding code inside 
of a regex, because it just seems to go against the grain of what regex 
is intended for.

I don't really want perl6 regex, I want perl6 grammars with embedded 
regex, I guess that's just a symantics issue, but really i'm more 
interested in embedded grammars then regex.

The proposal was that Rite/Ruby 2.0 should have an embedded grammar 
system.  It seems like an acceptable time to jump in and add it, or at 
the very least add the requisite keywords so it could be added later, 
thus allowing Rite to mostly freeze the syntax of the language.
