I see, you’re right, these are two interesting threads that I have found:

Empower String type with regular expression

I know this is an old thread already, but this sure would be one of the major breakout pieces of functionality. If Swift had native regular expressions, without all the noise you see in the Objective-C API that exposes ICU regular expressions, the adoption rate would be huge. If they were *truly* native, as in somebody sat down and built an NFA (or one of the fancier approaches that mixes with DFA) state machine, Swift's best-in-class Unicode support would and could result in amazing things. …

Draft: Regular Expression in Swift

NSRegularExpression is a suitable solution for pattern matching but the API is in unfitting for the future direction of Swift. Implementation: The Regular expression API will be implemented by a Regex st…
