re2 comparison is interesting from the point of if it should be included in stdlib.
Is "it" re2 or regex? I don't see having 2 regular expression engines in the stdlib.
There's precedence though... the old regex engine and the new re engine were side-by-side for many years before regex was deprecated and finally removed in 2.5. Hypothetically, re2 could similarly be added to the standard library while re is deprecated. -- Steven D'Aprano
