IIRC, the thing that is holding up Regex::Reverse (automatically reversing regexes) is backreferences. I have what appears to be a working solution, and would like some good tests for it. Yes, I can come up with my own, but if someone's got them laying around.... So a twofold request:
  1. Do I remember correctly that backreferences are the tricky part about generating sexeger? If not, what is?
  2. Can you provide me with some tricky test cases and their proper reversals? (Don't optimize things away.) Or suggest a way to make sure I get them right.
Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.
