How I should update wiki page:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_regular-expression_engines
Currently the comment is:
- Standard library includes PCRE-based re and nre modules, as well as various alternatives (ex. strutils, pegs (Parsing Expression Grammar matching), strscans, parseutils, etc.).

But strutils is not Regular Expressions, jsre is Regular Expressions.

yes, so what should be a correct comment on Wikipedia ?

Maybe open an issue on github

I do not think you should open Bugs in Nim repo for Wikipedia.

In some way one could argue that strutils is one of the various alternatives for regex...but then we'd go into bikeshedding territory.

Standard library includes PCRE-based re and nre modules, as well as various alternatives (ex. pegs (Parsing Expression Grammar matching), strscans, parseutils, etc.).
Might be better.
