It probably wasn't what you meant, and I haven't looked at it in any great detail
yet, but the new functional/object language, Scala, claims to use extended ML-style
pattern-matching in ways that are useful for XML. The extension is to allow some
forms of regular expressions, it appears.

Refs at: http://scala.epfl.ch/
and in particular, at: http://scala.epfl.ch/intro/regexppat.html

It only runs on .NET or the Java runtime, so isn't immediately useful for Plan 9!
