Title: Pcre wrapper

I know there already is a regexp module, but it's missing tons of useful features like named subgroups and backreferences. Perhaps it is possible to extend the regexp module with those features, but it seemed really hard. Wrapping pcre on the other hand was very easy thanks to alien. :) If you approve of the module I can write documentation too.
