Do we need faster regex?

I really like regex as a thing, but I have had to drop it because 
of the increased compilation memory and time requirements that 
use of `std.regex` incurred. Maybe that can't be avoided, I don't 
know.

I have not had that much use for backreferences, so to me the 
important part is that it doesn't require me to have 300+ Mb more 
RAM and an extra second or two on the wall clock to compile.
