If I ignore the "Beware of Leopard" of signs for just a moment, can we reasonably expect NSRegularExpression (or something equivalent) in 10.5?

We definitely want this to happen, but it's a lot of work. This is the current roadblock:

Please note the number of weeks estimated for implementation.

Sorry for the long wait...

Come on. 64b support is different than flashy animations and you know it.

Apple has a habit of making every developer repeat the same basic work
that should be part of the system. Even with ICU included, you still
have to jump through a number of hoops to use it with NSStrings. They
know it (based on a conversation I had in 2006 at WWDC).


Rather than fix the problem once, they basically force each developer
to "fix" the problem. And this is a pattern that is decades old.

apparently doesn't feel addressing this issue is more important than
animating the views as they slide around the screen.

Yeah also why did they waste time adding 64b support when the could have been adding something a developer could have picked up themselves if they really needed it.
