Regexps and XML are, IMHO, also "must haves".

By the way, it should be possible to handle regular expressions in an Haskell-like way. I always couldn't understand why one has to write regular expressions as strings which have to be interpreted at runtime. I would prefer something like this: identifierRegExp = alpha +++ iterate (alpha ||| digit ||| underscore) alpha = ('A' `to` 'Z') ||| ('a' `to` 'z') digit = '0' `to` '9' underscore = only '_' What do others think?
