Yes: Because they're bloody painful to work on, and they've gotten as
far as they have through raw intellectual sweat, almost all Lars'.
This came up a month or more ago, and then Lars commented on it thus,

The regexp needing work is this:
"\\(\\s-\\|^\\|[-\"]\\|\\s(\\|\\s)\\)\\(%s\\(\\w+\\(\\s-+\\w+\\)*[.,]?\\)%s\\)\\(\\s-\\|[-?!.,;:\"]\\|\\s(\\|\\s)\\)"
And just looking at it makes me want to look at something else. Which
I think I will do.
But if anybody want to fix this, please do.
