(q0.22, XEmacs 20.3.)
Methinks the regexps are a bit too generous in their interpretation of
certain strings as smilies.
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
The above should bring up FaceKOed.xpm. It's a pretty long reach to
call such a line a smiley at all. Similarly:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The above should bring up a single WideFaceSmile.xbm, but could
something be done to leave some kind of indication of the size of the
underlying string? They're usually used to highlight a slice of text
immediately above, but it seems reducing long strings to a single
left-justified pair of eyes is a bit too minimalistic.

If only things like perl's regexp: /|-{0,2}|/ were easily possible in
emacs, where you'd have to specificly write "|\\(-\\(-\\|\\)\\)|". Ick.

What about "|-?-?|" ? :-)

How would one do that?

I don't know; I was just thinking out loud. But perhaps the
smilification should simply find pairs of `^' and replace each pair
with a (smaller) eyes image, rather than subsuming a whole line-width
of `^' with a single larger image.
Here's another nit: :):):)
You probably see one smiley. There are actually 3.
Now middle-button around those a bit. Particularly, convert them all
to <colon><rparen>, then middle-button the center one. It eats two
<colon><rparen> sequences into a single face. Middle-button the
remaining one and it simply disappears.

It's a bug! It's a feature! No, wait... it's a game!
