On: Some useful regular expressions for programmers

[morelisp]

I can't imagine finding

    VerbalExpression regex = regex()
                    .find("a")
                    .capture().find("b").anything().endCapture().then("cd").build();

To involve less "cognitive overhead" than

    /a(b.*)cd/

For example, what is "anything"? (In this case, "anything" can be nothing.) Where does the capture group start/end? (In normally regexp syntax even naive brace matching will usually tell you.)
