Who is this for? People who write lots of regular expressions won't need it because they know what they're doing and people who don't write lots of regular expressions probably won't find it anyway.

It just seems like a weird type of user who actually wants this.

I think it's for me. I occasionally need regular expressions, like any career programmer. I also hate regular expressions. I have to complely relearn the every time I use them.

I'm not a programmer, but I do have to write scripts, and I'm the same way with regex.
