If I see this in someones code  - import std.regex; - it 
immediately causes me concerns - not just because I do not 
understand it, but there is no way for me to know whether that 
person understands it.

So that is a well known quote..for a reason ;-)

I've had a long career without regex, and I plan to keep it that 
way.
