This isn't so good for two reasons.
First, I can't reuse regexes in your way, so if there is any expensive  
initialization, that is duplicated.

Second, I can't reuse regexes in your way, so I have to use a pair of  
string constants.

auto re = regex("a[b-e]", "g");
foreach (e; "abracazoo".match(re)) {
    // what's wrong with that?
