Would there be any value in creating a document spec for CLI help output? Once there was something, individual projects could adopt it - or not, but it would be toward the goal of a future CLI ux that supports something like NL2Bash (https://github.com/TellinaTool/nl2bash) where we can create natural language interfaces to OS based services.

  An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs. (by hvdijk)

BRE vs ERE is really a non-issue for me: the way they're done in GNU's regular expression implementation, BRE and ERE are the same except for small differences in when you do and don't put \ in front of certain characters. GNU supports \< and \> in BRE and in ERE mode exactly the same way, and I do use ERE mode a lot as well.

I had a stab at implementing this to see how easy or difficult it would be. Coming from someone who doesn't write Rust: it seems to be pretty much trivial. A quick and dirty implementation is at <https://github.com/hvdijk/regex/commit/511c6485e49c22c79b47a...>. I guess I can use ripgrep with this patch for now to stop my own complaining.
