what is the type returned by regex function?
I want to store a regex member because I need to reuse it multiple times.
Can this be done?


class A {

  protected SomeTypeName regexPattern;


 void load() {
      string str;
      // obtain a regex pattern and store it as str.
      regexPattern = regex( str );
  }

  bool matches() {
    // use regexPattern
 }

}

The type is a template called Regex that is templated on the character width.

struct A
{
        Regex!char re;
        
        this(string str)
        {
                re = regex(str);
        }
}

There is also std.traits.ReturnType you can use for more complex types or voldemort types.
