So far attempts to run regex on binary data causes
"Invalid UTF-8 sequence".

Attempts to pass ubyte also didn't work out.

I doubt using anything except (d,w)string is supported or possible.

current regex engine assumes that you are using UTF-8 encoded text. i really want regex engine to support user-supplied input ranges instead, so decoding can be done by range (and regex engine can work on anything, not only on strings), but i'm not ready for that challenge yet. maybe i'll try to do something with it in 2015. ;-)
