Bug 12227 – Allow matching multiple patterns in one go with std.regex

Synposis: auto m = matchFirst("42 days", `[a-z]+`, `\d+`); assert(m.index == 2); //2nd pattern match assert(m.index != 0); //same as not empty foreach(item; "42 days".matchAll(`[a-z]+`, `\d+`)) { switch(item.index){ case 1: assert(item[0] == "days"); break; case 2: assert(item[1] == "42"); break; default: assert(0); } } Rationale - as a more efficient common basis for pattern matching (e.g. switch-case on with regex patterns as cases).
