Comment:

 Has been merged into "experimental". As a test I have added a dependency
 on `regex` (the egg) to the `regex-case` egg to test the handling of egg-
 deps on `regex`. Old (pre 4.5.0) chickens should try to install it, but
 the .setup script will just run to completion and not install anything.
 4.5.0 will ignore any dependencies on `regex`. "experimental" will install
 it as usual. From the little testing I did, this seems to work.

 After the next minor release, this should be announced on chicken-users
 and add dependencies to `regex` to all eggs that use the old regex API.

 To keep backwards-compatibility, eggs should still do the old idiom:

 {{{
 (use regex)
 (import irregex)
 }}}
