1.) I DEFINATELY think O'Caml needs a 100% pure O'Caml regex module.
    I've wished for this a number of times myself, and if we got it
    then we could remove the dependency on PCRE for things like Dbi's
    postgresql driver.

2.) I know next to nothing about regex implementations. I am simply
    a user.

3.) Do you have some code we can play with? I'd be able to comment
    on the interface if I could compile something...
