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.
