Hmm. OK, I can see some utility here. Although I have to say this
is getting awfully tricky and I'd rather see such stuff done with
two separate tests.
you're right, the added expressiveness is not worth the complication.
if N tests is deemed unacceptable by the user, he will probably find
that :regex is available in most implementations anyway.
