## IMPORTANT NOTE!
Due to the use of PCRE2, this library contains extra features such as lookaheads/lookbehinds. The stdlib regex engine, RE2, left these features out for a reason. It's easy to create regular expressions with this library that have exponential runtime. This creates the possibility of a denial of service attack. Only use this library if the extra features are needed and the user providing the regex is trusted (such as if it's in a config file). Otherwise, use the standard library regexp package.
