Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind.
Using one of my Regular Expression "Add books" filters would identify those two books as identical

I have been using Calibre from the very beginning - it was called LibPRS500 back then. And it was a lifesaver! I could use my brand-new new-fangled e-ink thingy - Sony Reader PRS-500 with my Linux PC.
I just haven't used it for serious library management. I started to play with library management functionality only a few months ago, when Calibre got UI overhaul (it is still not my cup of coffee, but Who Am I to complain? ;-) ) and when custom columns and serious Regular Expression support were implemented.
My book import RE is at the moment:
(?P<author>[^-]+)( - [[(]?(?P<series>[^-]+)[[( ]+(?P<series_index>[0-9]+)?[])]?)? - (?P<title>.+)
