The glibc implementation is quite large. Cutting the library-specific

Using PCRE is a no-go, as it uses perl-compatible regexes even for the
posix-compatible API, as per pcreposix(3):
I have a PCRE fork that has POSIX semantics (except the braindead
leftmost-longest *sub*expressions). It weighs 8kLOC, you can find it in
branch ssed of GNU sed's git repository.
Sounds neat. Do you by any chance have some performance measurements
for it? If the work's already done and it provides a significant
improvement I'm all for it ;-)

terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
