Hi, I'm having issues with the case insensitive flag from the 
phobos regex library (2.064). I have the following line of code 
which returns a string. Consider the following inputs...
fileLine = "policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT"
redTerm = "groupj"

   auto newString = replaceAll!(replaceTerm)(fileLine, 
regex(redTerm, "gi"));

The code will not match the redTerm "groupj", even though I have 
the case insensitive flag "i" set. If the redTerm text is 
"GROUPJ", it will match and return the correctly modified string.

Am I using this incorrectly?

It's working fine for me.

     import std.regex, std.stdio;

     void main()
     {
         auto fileLine = "policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT";
         auto redTerm = "groupj";

         writeln(fileLine);
         auto newString = replaceAll!(term => "replaced")(fileLine,
                              regex(redTerm, "gi"));
         writeln(newString);
     }

Output:
     policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT
     policy PRI-replaced-EXPORT

Sidenote: The 'g' flag doesn't do anything if you are using the 
[match/replace][All/First] functions (and is actually deprecated 
because it's confusing).

I was using the function incorrectly, I/O error ;).
