The current workarounds [to undo-then] are clunky:
- Writing an negative (opposite) rule isn't efficient:
it means declaring the rule twice effectively. Also the
negative rule is usually using lots of or's and
not's which isn't fast.
This would be made easier by...drum roll please...the else clause! :)
Now, if there was the else clause plus undo-then/closures you could probably write an
entire complex ruleset in one rule. Might as well just use perl, then. :P
