The kind that would turn tinycc into hugecc, and a terribly important amount of 
work !

Yet it would still fall short of add regex support to tinycc at the source 
level.

Specifying regular expressions as C strings is horrible: you have to escape all 
\ characters, which makes them even more obscure.
