If by the time that 10.5 is released, the mac development community
still doesn't have basic regex support in Foundation, you have my
vote to the change the name of your project to NSRegularExpression.

Hi John,
Any chance of changing the name to PCREKit or something more
specific? It's just that there are a number of regexp libraries,
all with subtly different implementations (e.g. POSIX, PCRE,
Oniguruma, ICU...). It can be a bit puzzling at times when
confronted with apps using the various different libraries (and/or
with various different options enabled), so I think it'd be good to
make it *really* obvious to people that your library is using PCRE.
Incidentally, does PCRE have good (i.e. native) support for
UTF-16? Oniguruma and ICU both do (and ICU includes a powerful
implementation of the regex character class feature that lets you
query Unicode attributes), which makes them a good choice for
integration with Cocoa, but if you have to e.g. transcode to UTF-8
in order to use regex matching, it's going to be somewhat more
expensive.
BTW, nice documentation. I was going to ask what tools you used to
do it, but it looks like you included them in the source
distribution. You should consider packaging up the doc. building
tools separately, as it looks like they're an improvement on
headerdoc.
