Summary: Nested matching

Initial Comment:
The creating of powerful filter remains a tough thing to do for someone not familiar with Regex and Perl otherwise.

Trying to port a few Proxomitron I come across a problem with nested matching. One example:



--
Name = "Kill Nosey JavaScripts"
Active = FALSE
Bounds = "$NEST(<script,</script>)"
Limit = 16000
Match = "*(.(referrer|plugins|cookie|colorDepth|pixelDepth|external)|history.length)*"
Replace = "<!-- Killed Nosey JavaScript -->"
--

How could this be made into a filter that is working with Privoxy? It is important to match only inside scripts, a filter that is matching everywhere is possible for me to make but just too broad.


Privoxy could attract a lot more people if these filters and its almost impossible to fully understand regex rules were a bit more like Adblock+ or Proxomitron.
