I have to say that I awaited such a mail. The patch was in my tree
long before I commited it. I thought that its not good to provide
the API without the implementation. Many people will ask you why its
not working.
The two items above have a problem: the definition of the word
important. If its important for me it may not important for you.
I will look into the real implementation of java.util.regex soon.
