Now this compiles for me in 2.063:

import std.regex;
enum bug7442 = ctRegex!`\p{Letter}`;

------------------------
Total time (ms): 11197.2

And even both cases combined:

import std.regex;
enum bug7442 = ctRegex!`\p{Letter}`;
void wcpx(string fn)
{
    enum ctr =  regex(r"\w+","g");
}

------------------------
Total time (ms): 17443.3

The latter takes around 600Mb virtual memory as measured on Win7 x64 with
32-bit executable. DMD lately has been tweaked to actually use up to 2GB of
memory on win32.

And the time is not all that bad.

Should we close this as the root case of improving dmd's CTFE memory footprint
is covered elsewhere? Just asking.
