Hi,

Over the weekend, I was thinking about adding a translate
method, probably to regex.Util to do tr/// and y///
string translations.

Firstly, good idea?

Secondly, anyone else thinking about or doing such a thing?

Thirdly, I couldn't decide whether to implement an ORO
tr compiler and matcher as if it were regex (which tr
isn't), or rather to hide all the implementation in
some private class where the code is similar to
the internals of the tr(1M) Linux/Unix command.

What are your thoughts?
