Yes, I actually wrote a note to Lars giving a list of things that
should be done to it.  This was one of them.

I also said it should be able to do something like:

  "[^p]\\(:/\\)" and pick the \1 out of there, or use the entire
  expression results if \1 DNE (ie, no sub-regions specified).  This
  way you could more carefully watch out for things like http://,
  which (used to) gets caught.  I also thought about requiring a white
  space char before the smiley.  This would fix the problem as well,
  and I doubt anyone is writing them without a space in the first place.

What I'm really suprised at is that no one has mucked with the reg-exp
list to include more smilies!
