Not sure about this one.

We'd have to check what we're using regexes for, and if we care about
this.  Can you do a quick search?

 (the fact that darcs has worked from 0.71 to 0.92 makes me think
  it's unlikely we're doing anything fancy enough that a potentially
  non-backward API compatible change could affect us, but let's just
  make sure it's safe)

The parsec limit is because I'm slightly afraid of breaking OldDate.

This is the third time this has come up... Duncan has suggested we
just stick with 2.1 if we aren't sure.

David himself has submitted a similar patch, but that was when he was
thinking it was just matchers.  He hasn't yet responded when I pointed
out the OldDate problem.

The safe route is just to ask Zooko to install parsec 2.1
