Have both functional and object-oriented versions of Regex functionality

Reported by:	JarrettBillingsley	Assigned to:	kris (accepted)
Priority:	normal	Milestone:	1.0
Component:	Core Functionality	Version:	0.99.4 Frank
Keywords:	triage	Cc:	JarrettBillingsley

Description

It already seems to have search, but it'd be nice to have this extended to all the methods. Basically, for a method "foo", there should be a free function "foo" that takes a regex string as the first param. That is, something like:

auto r = Regexp(pattern);
auto val = r.foo(params);

Should be interchangeable with:

auto val = foo(pattern, params);

type changed from enhancement to wishlist.

Since this is part of the big debate, it will have to go into the grander schemes of things. What should be wrapped and why?

Mostly to avoid a situation like Phobos, where functionality is available in one form but not the other. Consistency is a nice thing.

Implementing it wouldn't be too difficult either. Each functional version would basically just create a Regex and call the right method on it.

This will have to wait until such time as we decide to add this consistently across the API (don't wish to do it here alone)

Wouldn't it be better to have:

auto val = Regexp.foo(pattern, params);

this way, it would at least be central to Regexp

Replying to svanleent:

Wouldn't it be better to have: {{{ auto val = Regexp.foo(pattern, params); }}} this way, it would at least be central to Regexp
