Thank you.  As this function is quite handy, I want it
implemented in C so that C code can use it.  There are many
places in C code that can use it.

And, while reading this discussion, I remember one feature
implemented only in the old mule.  That is `regexp-compile'.
It compiles a regular expression and returns a special
object that represent the result of compilation, and the
object can be given to any function that accept a regular
expression.  What do you think about this feature?  If we
implement this feature, we can directry use that object in
MATCHER, which I think is better than the form `(regexp
REGEXP)'.
