About the only thing that I would like to see added (everything else
seems to be there -- I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :-)#
is a way to specify the exact number, or a min/max, or a range of
occurrences of an RE.  This is done in Un*x utilities with '{n}',
'{n,}', '{,m}', or '{n,m}', respectively, following the RE.

Is this something we might be likely to see in Version 19?
