No (I assume you want different regex syntax, probably PCRE). Tony's post is talking about a new Vim regex engine intended to be fully compatible with the old syntax, but faster. Like Vim's scripting language, Vim's regex syntax makes a lot of sense for editing text because they provide procedures that often work in an optimum way.
