I don't know about expectations, it met most of mine. But then I was expecting large changes.

I think Larry has done and excellent job and if he was to blame for the old RE syntax, he has certainly gone a long way to make up for his sins.

While reading this I could not help myself from thinking how to rewrite Convert::ASN1 to use it for the parser. Heck, I could probably use it for the engine too.
