There is already SmartyPants, RubyPants, Typogruby, Typogrify, Fast-Aleck? So why?!

• It is simpler, faster and more reliable than the others
• More features
• And I like regular expressions :)

But why not improve the existing libraries?

• SmartyPants is Perl
• RubyPants is good but too much of a direct Perl port
• Typogruby has nice features but the implementation seems more like a hack
• Typogrify is Python
• Fast-Aleck is C, but I don't want to use C since Ruby is already a perfect text processing language!
