This text describes much of what is wrong with the update sugar in Scala.
Each part should be able to drop directly into a repl/worksheet and compile.
See 2-TL;DR:.scala for motivation.

    def regex[T<:Product](args: T):RegexMatcher[T] = new RegexMatcher(args,sc)
      //this could work with some type level hackery to map the args though a Poly into CanParsers
