I think the point that I was trying to get across is not about a "better
syntax" for regular expressions, but about moving that kind of logic out of
syntax altogether and into programmer-domian objects and code.
So -- for me -- I don't /care/ whether it is less readable than the traditional
ex/awk/sed-style regexp syntax. Naturally, I'd prefer the code to be
reasonably readable, and I'll certaily concede that the example code I came up
with is none too expressive. But I'm willing to put up with that given the
limitations of Java.
(Though maybe the sort of approach to designing DSLs in terms of "plain Java"
shown in jMock, in particular the paper:
Evolving an Embedded Domain-Specific Language in Java
Steve Freeman, Nat Pryce
http://jmock.org/articles.html
could be adapted to improve the feel of the objects-only approach that I'm
advocating. Hmm...)

Largely agreed. (Actually agreed entirely with the exception of the
"fragmentation" thing.)
> Regular expressions are *not* Java, and IMHO they are about as readable
My contrasting view is that regular language grammars and parsers can be
expressed directly in object language, which gives all sorts of advantages. So
they /ought/ to be Java (but in the current state of affairs) are not.
Oh well...
