While I think the rust regex crate is heavily inspired by RE2 and uses a fairly compatible syntax I don't think there is a goal to be 100% compatible and I would be surprised if there weren't any differences. What I am trying to say is that if we are going to change engines we may as well change to `regex`. If we are using `RE2` for backwards compatibility then this change makes sense.
