[issue2636] Adding a new regex module (compatible with re)

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

So you are suggesting to fix bugs in re to make it closer to regex, and then replace re with a forked subset of regex that doesn't include advanced features, or just to fix/improve re until it matches the behavior of regex?
If you are suggesting the former, I would also suggest checking the coverage and bringing it as close as possible to 100%.
