   Uh, oh. What I'd like to see would be a `standard' regexp
   interface for Scheme (and may be a `standard' regexp
   implementation for Guile).

supposedly scheme is more general than everything else so any
(language) interface can be expressed in scheme.  by twisted
scotch-addled analogy i posit there exists some super general
regular expression engine upon which any (regexp engine)
interface can be built.  maybe that would be librx, maybe not.

   This would boost all those portable programs which nowadays
   try to parse strange things the hard way.

yes.

a good interface is most definitely appreciated.  a good
architecture is one that has more than one good interface,
although not all interfaces need be visible to everyone.
that is the paradox: quality arises from perception but once
crafted, no one need see the quality to appreciate its effect.
as long as what seeds are eaten are shat out in equilibrium
the system is sustainable and perhaps even beautiful.
