Isn't "NS" reserved for Apple? (So much as the namespace can be reserved, that is.)

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.

Announcing RegexKit - A framework for regular
expressions using the PCRE library.

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.
