Making a RegEx parser isn't difficult, but it be would be more effective to have it as an in-built one if it ever was added.

RegEx could easily be used for more advanced systems dealing with a lot of information that change over time, instead of searching by wildcards for example, regex would be more effective finding specific and advanced patterns. It would also be good for e.g. fixing typos, validate input, transform parts of strings into something else and more.

"Changes should only be made because those changes will be useful." That's really productive, right... Who or what determines if changes are useful or not then?
