Is this worth putting onto CPAN,

it sounds like re-useable functionality, so why not?

and, if so, what should it be called?
The working name is Parse::MuttStylePatterns, but that's a pretty bad
name.
 

should Mail::

be the TLD since it is mail related?

Mail::Mutt::Parser

is my guess, but I don't know much about mutt.

 Though the idea and syntax originate with mutt (as far as I know, at
 least), the general idea is not mutt-specific, or even mail-specific.
 The idea occured to me because I was writing a (non-mail-related)
 curses-based interface to a database, and needed functionality similar
 to mutt's Limits.  This my initial MuttStylePatterns name.  The mutt
 docs simply call them patterns, but that's much too generic a name for
 this module, I think.

They seem like a kind of regular expression to me. Something under
one of these name spaces makes sense to me:

Regexp::Mutt
Regexp::MuttPatterns

Having Patterns in the name might repeat the idea of what RE's are,
though.
