Playing around with reia for a little parser to see how it goes,
loving the idea but finding quite a few rough edges.

The only way I could think to create a substring is to convert it to a
list, choose the elements then convert it back to a string. However, I
came across this bug regarding pattern matching:

Thoughts?

That is indeed a bug with pattern matching. Per some other discussion on the list I'd like to change the internal representation of strings to UTF-8 binaries. That will fix pattern matching.
