In TeX I can define, say



def1#1 is #2.{#1 & is & #2\}



and



def2#1 has #2.{#1 & has & #2\}



with an easy usage:
1 Jim Jones is a fictional character.
and
2 Tim Smith has two brothers.



Can I write a definition depending on, in this case, is/has so I can write



3 Jim Jones is a fictional character.
and
3 Tim Smith has two brothers.



obtaing the previous results?



Solutions using Lua or expl3 are OK, but I hope that a pure TeX one is also possible.a
