+\begin{itemize}
+\item Yes, if we are only after string matching. But we are after lexing where
+  we need POSIX matching 
+  and calculate POSIX values. You cannot do this with any of the CFG-algorithms.
+\item Also it is not so easy to include extended regular expressions like $\sim{}r$
+and $r^{\{n\}}$.
