To clarify...

There is not yet any formal RE parser that works on biojava Symbol
objects. You can replicate the behaivour by making a Markov chain and
using it to parse any input to see if it matches (or even how well it
matches).

A class that takes some kind of Symbolic representation of an RE and
makes  the appropriate Markov chain would be cool though, anyone got a
spare day or too?
