i.e. checking this Regex expression

Is there any way to check a regular expression at compile time?
Not really and I'd actually suggest not trying because even if
it did work, it'd probably be very slow.
But that regex there is pretty easy to translate to a little
hand-written loop function that would do the job runtime, ctfe
both and do it quickly.
Thanks Adam.
