I guess I saw the articles more as a denouncement of the poor
implementations in common use than the claim of a drastically new and better
implementations, and the choice of a pathological regular expression made
sense as such, since the point is that such a beast exists with backtracking
implementations, and doesn't exist with good implementations.
