Well, on second thought I take the worries about crashes back.  These
are just character classes, same as any other.

The main question is how the character classes are constructed in Mule.

Eg, you would hope that "^[[:word:]]+ [[:word:]]+$" would match
"Hrvoje Nikšić" and 
-------------- next part --------------
"^?? ??$", as well as "Steve Youngs".
