One solution is to make regexps part of the language syntax rather than 
literals. Griswold's languages SNOBOL and Icon come closest to doing 
this, in different ways... SNOBOL is string oriented, while Icon makes 
the generator/pattern semantics of regular expressions a basic part of 
the language.
