I am not sad being in plan9 [sic].

I have used it as my main OS for about eight years and I have used sam
exclusively for ten. During that time I cannot remember ever needing
or wanting repeat counts on regular expressions.

Structural regular expressions have intrigued me since the paper was
published but they still await somone with the time and inclination.

-Steve (happy in plan9).
