Why can I not use const/immutable regex?
I think it's a Phobos bug that can't use regex as immutable.
You can use const regex with getting rid of "const" attribute
with cast().
matchFirst( "big string", cast()r1 );
Or using enum seems better way. This style appears in Phobos's
code.
enum r1 = regex("bla");
You should not do this, as it will create a new regex everywhere
you use it. Unlike const or immutable, enum in this situation is
more or less like a C macro.
#define r1 regex("bla")
