Currently, it processes some input through regular expressions. The kind
of input and the rules (regular-expressions) are not limited in any way,
except it is processed line-by-line. Would 'regex-processor' be a good
name then? The tool itself is extremly small and straight forward, so
this name would express where its power comes from and also where its
limits are...
