[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)

Apparently Perl has a quite comprehensive set of tests at
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/t/op/re_tests .
If we want the engine to be Perl-compatible, it might be a good idea to
reuse (part of) their tests (if their license allows it).
