Better than nothing, but I still want full bore pattern matching,
e.g.,

 F R'(?!REG/b)[[:alpha]]{3}\d*'

to find a string containing three letters and a string of digits,
where the three letters are not 'REG'. This, opf course, is only a
simple example; any SuperWylbur® user could give you more complicated,
but useful, searches. Also, what about named captures?
