+We need a way to have a rule that matches the end of the line. Many languages
+have regions whose "end" token is merely the end of the line. In those cases,
+our grammars employ hacks (with varying levels of success) to get around the
+fact that rules must match 1-or-more characters from the buffer.
+
+One solution would be to artificially include a newline character at the end of
+the line, which could be matched in regexes. Another would be to create a new
+type of rule and write some special-case code in the region rules.
