I can do a new version of install with new plugin, but I am not sure I see the point of aliasing all the new function Its a bit of work for me (code, testing, help, ...) and kind of contradicts the idea of having plugins. So why did I alias the original ones? Some thought re's should be built in. I did originally go with the x[] notation, but decided that was not that intuitive. Also, my personal preference is that functions return their main result and that error flags go elsewhere and that is not the route the regex implementers went. Neither is right or wrong, its just a preference. So I decided to create aliased functions that worked the way I preferred. OTOH, the name "regex" is hardcoded into PowerPro. If you prefer something shorter like "re", I could consider that.
