Issue ID: 17516
Summary: std.regex doesn't recognize \e (for ANSI escape
character), unlike boost.regex
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: phobos

\e Outputs the ANSI escape character (code point 27).
\e is not recognize (and not in docs in
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_regex.html#replaceFirst)
\e is particularly useful to handle ansi termnial escape codes (eg color codes)
in log files
There are workarounds, but they're cumbersome
