Hi @FireBurn!  I have a plan for the full regex suite, it's currently scheduled to be ~27 commits long to get it all in, including a set of optimisations.  It's a plan I put together before the summer and I needed to validate it because I went digging for recent research papers on how to make a backtracking regex system efficient.  It turns out there's been some interesting research.  Because of this, I'd prefer to carry on with the plan.  This is one of those gnarly pieces that I'm going slowly on to make sure I get it right - and also to make sure the resulting code is understandable when I have to fix some bug in a couple of years =)

Are you on the #libc channel on Discord?  If yes, I'd love to chat in the morning.  We're both in the UK and I'm about to head to bed =)
