I'd personally much prefer a 'lispy' (read : verbose and understandable) implementation of regexps then the one from perl, and still wouldn't

want it

included as part of CLtL3..

cl-ppcre allow the use of sexps as regexps. I think that they are "verbose" and "understandable".

So it might ... but as per section 4 "Preference will be given to topics that cannot be implemented portably and have multiple existing implementations.".

I'm not saying that cl-ppcre should be made part of cltl3, I actually agree with you. That was just an off-topic comment (if someone doesn't know that already).
