hi Kal,

complex for antlr to handle in there ?
yepp, some ambigious parts of the AsTMa= grammar have been too complex, 
plus with regex it's
easier to adopt changes of the AsTMa= syntax and it's even a bit faster 
;-)

i tried to use jakarta-regex but AFAIK it isn't capable to substitute 
matched patterns, but jakarta-oro is.
