Why am I seeing a lot of this pattern lately:

OP: Got problem with string
+- A: Suggested a regex-based solution
   +- B: Quoted "Some people ... regex ... two problems."

OP: Writes some regex, found problem
+- A: Quoted "Some people ... regex ... two problems."
   +- B: Supplied regex-based solution, clean one
      +- A: Suggested PyParsing (or similar)
