The methods in the Test::STD:Scrub package are designed to support the Test::STDmaker and the ExtUtils::SVDmaker package. This is the focus and no other focus. Since Test::STD::Scrub is a separate package, the methods may be used elsewhere. They are used to wild card out parts of two documents before they are compared by making these snippets the same. In all likehood, any revisions will maintain backwards compatibility with previous revisions. However, support and the performance of the Test::STDmaker and ExtUtils::SVDmaker packages has priority over backwards compatibility.
