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?
}
Your first example was:
auto match (char[] source, char[] pattern, char[] options);
Your second example was:
auto match (char[] source, regex expression);
The second is good, but more typing than you said originally. The first
is problematic.
