Walter,
I'd like to get the span of a match, rather than just its starting
position. Maybe you could add something like something like this to the
std.regexp module ...

alias regmatch_t re_span;
/*************************************************
 * Search string for match.
 * Returns:
 *     A re_span struct.
 *     .rm_so (int) Start position of match
 *     .rm_eo (int) Last position + 1 of match.
 */

public re_span find_span(rchar[] string)
{
    static re_span nf = {-1,0};

    if (test(string) != 0)
	return pmatch[0];
    else
	return nf;    // no match
}
