No, and (for those of you who don't already know), there are
two nice packages that make doing so even easier and more useful:

*grep-dctrl* allows you to extract entire package chunks with a 
grep-like syntax.

*sgrep* allows you to do arbitrarily complicated extracts (also
from other "structured" text files).
