The tool is written in Common Lisp - this is the first application I’ve run across that (told me it) is written in this language.

It might be worthwhile to note that due to the dynamic nature of Lisp The Regex Coach could be written without changing a single line of code in the CL-PPCRE engine itself although the application has to track information and query the engine while the regular expressions is parsed and the scanners are built. All this could be done ‘after the fact’ by using facilities like defadvice and :around methods.
