Does the standard Squeak image contain a class for operating on

No, nothing beside String>>matches: But you can load
a regex package from squeaksource. You know squeaksource
already?
I wonder why that isn't considered to be such a fundamental thing
that it is included. It seems to me that most programming languages
other than C/C++ include support for regular expressions now.
IMHO because Smalltalk does not come from the unix-centric world of
text-file processing, coupled with the expense of moving a package
that is rarely used into the image.
