I like that. It takes a moment to wrap my head round.

It doesn't work as such with my original example of the annotated
domains. (Because the "b" is not in them.)

That being said, I can modify it a little bit:

F D

Or more specifically, a count version of it:

4F D

I feel like that is within the spirit of what I was originally asking
about. Namely something to arbitrarily delete backwards to words.

Yep.

I know.

I'm mainly asking about how I can clean up / mung arbitrary data that
I'm working with.
