afaiu, selection of regex engine implemented via import statements?
You can actually choose which backend (=~) uses at runtime:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fglasgow-exts #-} import Text.Regex.Lazy
import qualified Text.Regex.PCRE as R import qualified Text.Regex.PosixRE as S import qualified Text.Regex.Full as F
-- Choose which library to use depending on presence of PCRE library
(=~) :: (RegexMaker R.Regex R.CompOption R.ExecOption a,RegexContext R.Regex b t ,RegexMaker F.Regex F.CompOption F.ExecOption a,RegexContext F.Regex b t ,RegexMaker S.Regex S.CompOption S.ExecOption a,RegexContext S.Regex b t) => b -> a -> t (=~) = case R.getVersion of Just _ -> (R.=~) Nothing -> case S.getVersion of Just _ -> (S.=~) Nothing -> (F.=~)
main = print (("ba" =~ "(.)a") :: (String,String,String,[String]))
The R.getVersion and S.getVersion detect whether it was compiled against PCRE or PosixRE. The (=~) is then chosen at run time.
