I would emphasize the "mostly" there.

Now you don't have to work hard to figure out more difficult patterns.

Um. Let me just say I very much appreciate the effort and intention

My thoughts can be summed up very roughly as

txt2re.com : regex :: WRKQRY : SQL

That misses a lot of the nuances and specifics, but it's a decent
first approximation, and keeps this post relatively short.
