Would you bring the topic of separators up on the IRC channel? I'll chime in to confirm the importance of the discussion in my eyes.

As for the rest, we can deal with them later. I anticipate a discussion phase once we have a good draft of the LUIF manual as its basis.

One such "shoot yourself in the foot" extension to SLIF would be regexes instead of character classes -- these would remove the need to write an external lexer in many cases.

Regexes can be passed through to the host language as is currently done with charclasses and Perl in Marpa::R2.
