I definitely lean this direction, but if I recall correctly we drew “line between [lang] and [text]” to be: a piece of functionality should go in [lang] if the arbitrary java developer would probably want it, whereas text is geared towards folks actually doing text manipulation [1]. Personally I’m a +0 to +1 on doing this, but I wanted to gauge other folks’ thoughts here because I feel like we’re in that grey area here. That said, I’m perfectly willing to roll a 1.2 [text] release.
