	I ran into problems with just plain search first.  My programs are 4x 
faster with plain splits and searches than regex.  Here's some of the 
stuff I've added:

val split : string -> char -> int -> string list
val split_chars : string -> char list -> int -> string list
val strstr : string -> string -> int -> int
val ends_with : string -> string -> bool
val begins_with : string -> string -> bool
val string_of_chars : char list -> string
