I think that the various regular expression libs, if they differ in
functionality should make that obvious, and we should support some way
for detecting what's available so that you can write conditional code,
or at least ask for what you specifically need and have things fail
otherwise.

Along the same lines, if I get the time, I'd like to see about
supporting (use-modules (regexp perl)) via libpcre.
