META_RGXS: Patterns for Parsing Patterns

my.regex.meta.meta_rgxs.META_RGXS: dict[str, Pattern]

Dictionary of meta-regex patterns used for parsing and analyzing regular expressions: the primary decomposition patterns (set, group, atom), their second-order helpers (quant, set_operator, inline_flags, …), and the struct_mark pattern behind the RegexStore composition DSL. Each value is a compiled pattern, ready to match:

>>> from my import META_RGXS
>>> META_RGXS['quant'].search('ab{2,5}?cd')[0]
'{2,5}?'
