Amen.  I've never understood why there is a need for a deep, sparse
hierarchy.  You're practically never going to navigate for a library
anyway, and even if you were, a deep hierarchy will unavoidably have
ambiguities.  (Of course, in this case, the obvious "Text.Regex" is
already taken)

My preference is to name modules after their purpose or application
area ("Text") rather than after their implementation technique
("Combinators").
