So now here goes. Let me start by saying I had no idea this would be as
extensive as it has turned out. You are now so far beyond my level of

is any
Indeed, your progress has been great, witnessing the commits and
analyzing the test cases and comparing them to the Java specs (and now
seeing you are going beyond it to add additional useful features, making
the regex package even more powerful).
There is one particular feature which I think

The regular expression incubator project is moving along at a fairly
good pace. Most of the basics are now implemented and have unit
tests, so many of the standard expression types should be working now.
Stuff I have yet to finish are:
1) Unit tests for lookarounds
2) Non-capturing groups
