> It would be cool if the inputs weren't matched exactly, and frak could figure out a general pattern for your inputs (decimals, capitalized words, etc).

The problem is that there are an huge number of possible solutions for any given input. For example, you could always give a trivial solution: ".*"

For something like that to work, you'd need a large dictionary of common patterns, and then you'd want to compare against the dictionary to see if it matches a sequence of common patterns.

I can't imagine that sort of thing being too useful.
