Description

Lua projects can use the newer PCRE2 engine for Perl-compatible regular expressions.

This package is useful for developers who want PCRE2 behavior in Lua code instead of older regex backends. It is a development library, not a user-facing app.

PCRE2 syntax and limits still need careful testing. Validate patterns when they parse user input, file names, or configuration data.
