Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:

These additions sounds more useful as an external tool than regex 
functions/methods.  There are already a few tools able to "explain" what a 
regex matches.
The use cases you proposed are too specific to deserve new methods, and using 
them programmatically sounds like premature optimization IMHO.
