just to let you know - there is also lazy ByteString datatype which is
essentially [ByteString]. at the last end, RE support for it will be
also demanded

i will be very pleased if it will be possible to write just String as
regexp and don't worry (and even don't know!) about existence of
different regexp engines until i actually need specific one:

"Hello" =~ "el+"
pack "Hello" =~ "el+"

while for requesting specific regex engine your syntax is really great!
