I'd like to further this.  We shouldn't form a SIG for future
requirements but for current requirements.  I speak from experience: I
invented a problem and created a SIG (the Locator SIG).  Subsequently, I
discovered no one else really cared about the problem I invented and
certainly weren't going to make time to contribute.

It is quite obvious that people are interested in regex work.  More
importantly, there are real people doing real work today.  That should
be the sanity check on the SIG's mission statement.
