[Haskell] regex: a toolkit for regex-base

[Chris Dornan]

Dear Haskellers,

I am pleased to announce the regex package, a regular expression toolkit for regex-base with:

  * text-replacement operations with named captures;
  * special datatypes for matches and captures;
  * compile-time checking of RE syntax;
  * a unified means of controlling case-sensitivity and multi-line options;
  * high-level AWK-like tools for building text processing apps;
  * the option of using match operators with reduced polymorphism on the text and/or result types;
  * regular expression macros including:
    + a number of useful regular expression macros;
    + a test bench for testing and documenting new macro environments;
  * built-in support for the TDFA and PCRE back ends;
  * comprehensive documentation and copious examples.

The package is in a review period with the aim of releasing v1.0.0.0 on 2017-03-20. Your feedback is welcome (see http://contact.regex.uk).
