[RFC] Native replacement for regex-pcre ?

[Marco Z]

I just ran into a build failure on a machine that doesn't have pkg-config (2020 Mac M1)

Are there native Haskell replacements for regular expressions we could use here instead?

[Mateusz Kowalczyk]

regex-dfa/regex-tdfa are native AFAIU; not sure if they are a simple drop-in

[Marco Z]

It looks like regex-tdfa could work since makeRegexM is a typeclass method which has both pure and PCRE implementations : https://hackage.haskell.org/package/regex-tdfa-1.3.1.1/docs/Text-Regex-TDFA-String.html#v:makeRegexM

I can prepare a PR for this
