Note that the same author, db, also has termed backtracking esoteric,
it is not included in his VM-like SETL, as opposed to other
implementations.

Whatsmore, he thinks that specifying an egrep-inspired
pattern string for matching is a better way than the sublanguage
for pattern matching found in the other implementations of SETL.
(The sublanguage looks like inspired by many years of experience with
pattern matching in SNOBOL4 and successors. You might easily
add a few guesses as to who did this and maybe why.)
