So one thing that bothers me in the whole discussion of rule vs rx
differences and similarities, is that there was a previous discussion
that said "regular expression" and "regex" should be deprecated terms
because the rules and patterns are no longer regular, but if rx isn't a
short form of regex, what is it a short form of? And if it is a short
form of regex, shouldn't it be deprecated too (respelled)?
