   Guile-dialect regexp choices should be (imho) no less casual than,
   say, number-tower choices.

but a tower is an abstract model that is supported to varying degrees
when it comes to compilation down to the the physical layer.  why are
surface regexp syntaxes different?  sure, there are non-dfa-friendly
approaches, so provide non-dfa-requiring compilation for those.  at the
bottom it's all just fixed-width NANDs and NORs (logically speaking)...
