I would say a tentative no to that. It neither adds anything new nor significantly reduces code size. As you say, re() is only five characters shorter than re.exec. The only real benefit from it that I can see is that it allows generalised functions to call any function-or-regex argument on a string, instead of having to fork the code. > 2. If yes to 1, do we really need .call and .apply? I don't think it's needed, except for symmetry with real functions.
