[Haskell-cafe] how unsafe is this?

I've defined a helper function to let me do regexps in functional style: > sed exp str = unsafePerformIO $ do > regexp <- regcomp exp 0 > regexec regexp str Is this always safe? or where is it not? (I'm using any one regexp more than once so it doesn't bother me that it compiles each time)
