The kinds of RE slicing and dicing that are being demonstrated in this
discussion are good examples of just how difficult these things can be
to explain (or even understand :-).  Some non-RE Perl expressions are
also difficult for many (including myself) to understand.

I would love to see some automated tools (e.g., an expanding browser)
that would parse and explain pieces of arcane Perl code.  As examples,
such a browser might be able to:

   *  add parentheses, to show order of evaluation, etc.

   *  break up REs into reasonable multi-line versions,
      possibly annotated in some manner

   *  Draw Jeffrey's diagrams for REs.
