I can absolutely see a simplified pattern system working well,
especially if we *always* type it in on the fly. But what prevents me
from creating binds to often used patterns? I can see full blown
regexp being useful there. As an experienced programmer, I'm fairly
comfortable with regexp anyway, so at least the simpler ones I can see
myself typing in right at the prompt.
I think the only two realistic options here are dmenu-style token
matching, and proper PCRE.
