I don't think so.
std.regex looks like it implements only a deterministic finite

push-down automaton. It just so happens that a few popular
regex libraries implement PDAs rather than DFAs (and have
associated changes to their regex syntax to make it work,
albeit inelegantly).
Thanks, that makes sense.
String manipulation in D without regex is pretty nice anyway, so
it's not a big loss.
