When writing regex I ported much of regexp's core code without
understanding much of it. Since then I tried to fix a couple of bugs
(common to regex and regexp) but couldn't within a reasonable time
frame. I understand the design but the mechanics of the bytecode in the
engine are too convoluted for my little brain.
So I can't help much with the bugs in regex(p), but I encourage Walter
or someone else to fix them. I also think that fixes should only go to
regex, not regexp. We need to deprecate regexp anyway, and bug fixes
should be a good opportunity to do that.

I've ported the email address validator that has been previously discussed here

I've encountered a problem with the regular expressions used in the PHP code.
Apparently std.regex can't handle them because std.regex doesn't completely
follow the ECAM standard.
An issue has already been reported for this:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5169
The following is one of the regular expressions used in the email address
validator that std.regex can't handle:
\.(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*(?![^\"]*\"))
If we want to have this email address validator I think that issue needs to be
resolved.
