Hi Ángel,

If a new subpacket was added I think it'd make sense to store the entire
expression in a binary (tree) form. This way parsing would be more
consistent across implementations.
Using regexps invites implementers to just reuse whatever regexp library
their language has thus inviting incompatibilities.
Of course this is not of highest priority but having a binary packet
encoding that stores a regexp string that should be parsed with a
different parser looks like a design issue with the protocol.
Kind regards,
Wiktor
