Substitution is *very* tightly connected to the internal glob matcher;
I think it'd be quite a significant refactoring effort to replace that
with calls to the externally-linked regex library -- plus we already
have the PCRE vs. standard regex contortion.  There'd also need to be
different syntax (maybe just another (#) marker would to work) to signal
when you want regex interpretation, etc.
