[Qt5-feedback] QRegExp in Qt 5 (was: V8 import to QtBase)

[Giuseppe D'Angelo]

I think maybe it's better to continue the discussion on a separate thread?

Apparently everyone agrees that QRegExp needs improvements and fixups,
but what exactly are the expectations for the default regexp engine
for Qt5? Since (apparently) the discussion is still going on, it seems
to me that no consensus has been reached yet.

So, please, discuss: what are the features people want to be supported
in 5.0? What to do with the current engine (keep it as the default in
order not to break anything, or change it to the RegExp2
implementation, or overhaul it, etc.)? Did anyone do some research
with an alternative engine implementation (PCRE, ICU, V8, etc.) and
can provide some results?

Cheers,
