I know it's not unusual to rant about open bugs and such but it's been 4 months and I'm helpless.

I had some nice breakthrough in std.regex performance back in May but failed to deliver it to the mainline because of a bug:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4286

If anyone fluent in backend can decipher issue:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15989
I'd indebt.

I'm not above a workaround if that's what it takes.

You can workaround the issue by making ctRegex a static immutable instead of an enum.

That should work, but I wouldn't call it a workaround. It's the right way to do that.

Thanks to everyone involved, this is now a healthy green pull request.
