It's my fault. I really should be using module globals for those
regexes, and a module ctor (static this) for initializing them.

It would be nice if the CTFE implementation was improved, though.  CTFE
is one of the big major features of D that I really liked.

But speaking of which, are you using the latest version of dmd? 'cos I
think recently there were some CTFE efficiency issues that got fixed.
