Much better idea, but as Michael pointed out, you probably don't need
another control for that. Take a look at Qt for a nice example (if I'm
not mistaken). They allow you to set an input mask for a standard
textedit control. That input mask (validator) may be regex too. This is
a lot more powerful that VCL/LCL's MaskEdit or a specialised SpinEdit etc.

But if you guys are anal about "delphi compatibility" like the FPC
developers, then that is probably not an option for you.
