I can try this, but a first shot didn't compile. So I was wondered if this all
together was possbile, but probably I should give it another try. In the end I
could always write a simple regex myself(a la CUJ 'A Different Interpretation
of the Interpreter Design Pattern'), but that's what I want to avoid.

Well that would be even more general :)
