I like this idea. Quotes aren't a bad choice, but it would be nice to pick
a character that could be used in the htsearch fields too. Maybe:
start_url: http://www.foo.com/
limit_urls_to: ${start_url} \ # as in start_url
[\.*.html] \ # regexp match
/bar/ # again, a normal match
Internally, both types of limits would be regexp, but we'd escape those
that weren't enclosed in brackets (or whatever). So in the above case, the
limit becomes:
limit_urls_to: http://www\.foo\.com/|\.*.html|/bar/
Does this make sense?
