As a datapoint, it sounded to me more like Gustavo saying, "I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing here, but this is hairy code and I'd like to keep the old code around for a bit as a cross-check in case it turns out I'm wrong." But if Gustavo's code already passes the regex regression suite, I would say it's just him being suspenders-and-belt -- which in my book as a tech support-type person is a Good Thing. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "It is easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code." --Bill Harlan
