If it's hygienic -- ie, if it's comparing identifiers, then it would
work fine.  No impasse.

The underlying engine is irregex.  It _can't_ be hygienic even if

I wanted it to - it's not a macro language.  It shouldn't be a macro

language either, otherwise you couldn't dynamically generate

SREs which would really suck.
