Ann: Forward lookahead asserts now supported by regex lib

The regex lib, now has experimental support for perl style forward
lookahead assertions, using the syntax extensions:

(?=exp) positive zero width forward assertion on exp.
(?!exp) negative zero width forward assertion on exp.

I'm currently looking for anyone willing to test these, and for real world
test cases to add to the regression tests, before documenting the
extensions and making them "official".

Many thanks.
