Comment(by felix):

 The `total-irregex` branch in the git repository is more or less complete
 now and represents irregex 0.8.2. The tests seem to run ok. I have tried
 to tune the code with chicken-specific forms (guarded via `cond-expand`).
 There still is a lot that can be optimized. I would also like to run
 `mini-salmonella` once before declaring the branch as done.

 The old regex API has been moved into an egg, you can see it here:
 http://github.com/bunny351/protoeggs/tree/master/regex/

 I'm not sure how to handle the egg: should it be shipped with the core
 libs or should we forcefully modify the .meta files of all eggs that use
 it in a big update spree? (that should be backwards-compatible, since
 `chicken-install` should ignore any dependencies on `regex`.

 Sorry, I can't get the benchmarks in `uri-generic/trunk/alternatives` to
 run properly: `uri-generic.abnf.scm` accesses undefined identifiers (has
 abnf been updated recently?) and `uri-generic.irregex.scm` gives errors
 about named submatches it can't find.
