# regex: A Regular Expression Toolkit for regex-base
regex extends regex-base with:

* compile-time checking of RE syntax
* a unified means of controlling case-sensitivity and multi-line options
* high-level AWK-like tools for building text processing apps
* the option of using match operators with reduced polymorphism on the
text and/or result types
* regular expression macros including
+ a number of useful RE macros
+ a test bench for testing and documenting new macro environments
* built-in support for the TDFA and PCRE backends
* comprehensive documentation and copious examples
