Jon said

<<As for the GC example, you yourself suggested this as a possibility.
I believe I still have the post saved where you stated so.>>

Indeed, but read more carefully what I said, I said "the more interesting
GC stuff", and that is what I meant!

I think something could have been done in the GC area if there had been
any consensus (there was not, there was ZERO support for including anything
in the GC area).

When it comes to the pattern matching stuff I certainly disagree, but
then I don't know if Jon really knows SNOBOL4, and realizes the kind of
level of capability that I am talking about (remember that Jon is guessing
that the implementation of GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns, sight unseen, might be
suitable for an annex. For all kinds of reasons it is not!
