Re: handling spacing in patterns

As David W. Tamkin has pointed out, my pattern is suboptimal. Where I
had
        remove['">]?\>*(as|in)
I need to have only
        remove\>*(as|in)
since \> will match all of the listed punctuation marks.

As others have posited in an earlier thread, \> and \< expand to
something like ([^_A-Za-z0-9]|$).
