Just guessing, but I think he means that when he types in http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15250, it appears as a hyperlink, even though we don't explicitly add an anchor tag.

The rest of the title is baffling to me: Python can do regexps through the 're' module, there are Lisp regexp packages available, and I'd imagine news.YC uses one of those.

P.S. The hyperlink regexp seems to pick up trailing punctuation, like periods, commas, and parentheses. Any chance we can exclude them from the link target? I think several of my links have broken because of that.
