I've not run into many actual problems with rc so it's pretty near
perfect :>

Though as Erik said - regex matches to compliment ~ matching

hash maps : a['name'] = 'glenda'
arithmetic - though with the 80/20 rule, I don't think the bloat is worth it

I tried a write a couple of other ideas but each time it was better to
spawn awk or some other better tool for the job!
