Well, if you just make the source regexps more inclusive, then it
won't be too much of a problem. Older clients won't be able to read
the archive, but newer clients can read everything. Playing with
precious is more dangerous, because you might make the source regexps
less inclusive.

This is a good idea. In fact, it might be a good idea for the regexps
to be explicitly defined there anyway. Then you wouldn't have to
search through the source to figure out what they are. I'll file a
wishlist.
