Meaning and intent can only be applied if structure can be captured. I'm not proposing building some god-machine that has a library of all possible regular expressions. I'm merely saying that it could be helpful to nudge something like a neural network towards looking for these types of structures, such that they can be a basis for probabilistic encoding. It may be possible that the meaning that gets abstracted thereafter might actually be more concise and generalized.
