The problem with regexps is that it is possible to get the parser into a
loop. Obviously coders try to avoid this on their own systems, but users
have a habbit of valliantly trying to break things on services. Poorly
formed regexps can also take ages to run. Again, this would be something
users would try to exploit.

Is it possible to add regexp support to access lists, akill list etc?
Many clones in our network use nicknames or userids tha can be described
with
regexps but not with *? masks.. We could realy use akills with regexps on
userids during the past 3 months and i believe akick lists will be much more
efficient. An 'easy' way whould be to flag regexp entries and use the
system's regexp functions (they are very fast) when matching them.
