I want to make a suggestion to Apple: can ya'll update the PCRE in CVS HEAD to PCRE 5.0 (6.0 is too complex, and 5.0 has a fully working Win32 implementation)?

Well, our variant of PCRE has UTF-16 support. We can't just merge to a newer PCRE -- someone has to roll the changes in. I think it's a great project to do. And anyone could do it -- there's nothing Apple- specific about such a project.

Another great thing to do would be to contribute the UTF-16 support to the PCRE maintainer and see if he wants to support that.

In addition, we need to change many things in PCRE to implement the JavaScript specification, so there's a lot more work needed in this area. And we might even end up moving to another regular-expression library.
