About:------  Anthill has two main aims:  1. As a shell to perform quick word searches (build, anagram and pattern),  mostly duplicating the functionality of the late lamented Lexpert  [http://www.valuecube.com/lexpert/].  2. To explore the idea of a language to perform complex word queries, somewhat  akin to zyzzyva [http://www.zyzzyva.net], but based on scripts rather than a GUI  Ideally, I would like to achieve feature parity with nutrimatic [http://nutrimatic.org/]Features:---------  * Anagram  * Build  * Pattern  * Single character wildcard (.)  * Multi character wildcard (*)  * Character class wildcard ([abc] matches a, b or c)  * Basic set operations (and, or, diff)Examples:---------  * Find all the anagrams of RETINAS  anagram > retinas  <-- note that we are in anagram mode by default  anestri  antsier  nastier  ratines  resiant  retains  retinas  retsina  stainer  starnie  stearin  * AEIDCST + ? =   anagram > aeidcst.  acidiest  acridest  cadgiest  citadels  danciest  dialects  dictates  distance  misacted  scaithed  spicated  * How many words start with A and end with B?  anagram > p a*b  ab  abb  abcoulomb  absorb  acerb  adsorb  adverb  aerobomb  alb  aldicarb  antisnob  aplomb  arb  ardeb  athrobAcknowledgements:-----------------Thanks to Gabriel Scherer for helping move to ocamlbuild.
