David,

The University of Idaho is renowned for its distance education programs in
engineering and computer science, and I would go out of my way to facilitate
someone who wanted to do such a project as part of an academic program.
However, an M.S. would also require all the usual degree (i.e. coursework)
requirements, not just a great thesis project! So yes, it is a big
undertaking, an M.S. is not for everyone, and it is a lot easier to do in
person on a campus.

Reflecting on how Sudarshan has already done most of the "heavy lifting" for
the implementation, designing a more fully integrated pattern type for
Unicon might not
be that bad an M.S. project in terms of implementation, although it is
pretty open-ended.

Someone else (Robert, I think) asked if we already have a design for
fully-integrated-patterns in Unicon handy, for which my answer is no,
designing it to be fully integrated with string scanning is challenging.
