The speed can always be worked upon.  It all has to do with algorithms
and state machines.  Which is exactly my avenue.
A lot of the wait was on Henry Spencer's new release of his regexp
handling stuff.  I'll time this out, after having tried to contact him
on numerous occasions.  I'll add some of this stuff to the TenDRA
Project to work on.

Features aren't necessarily a good thing.  Remember the GNU camp
actually has options for true (--help and --version)!

Same thing for size sorting in ls, just use a | to sort.

I love to stay away from viral licenses where I can.
