Johannes, it strikes me that it is very odd having to add ".*$" at the 
end and to surround the whole thing in a parentheses. Shouldn't the 
ff_regexp() grabber simply pick the whole line? After all, that is what 
GNU "diff -p -F RE" does.

Yes, but then you can forget about your hierarchical idea.

Yeah, I've brought it up just for discussion, but I no longer
think the multi-line pattern that picks pieces and paste them
together is worth it.
