//! Enhanced Regex Implementation - Lightweight Lookaround Support
//!
//! This module provides a lightweight enhancement over the standard `regex/regex-lite` crate
//! to support common lookahead and lookbehind patterns without requiring the full
//! `fancy-regex` dependency.
//!
//! ## Usage Context
//!
//! ## Coverage
//!
//! The implementation handles ~99% of lookaround patterns found in rgrc config files:
//! - * Positive lookahead: `(?=pattern)`
//! - * Positive lookbehind: `(?<=pattern)` (fixed-length only)
//! - * Negative lookahead: `(?!pattern)`
//! - * Negative lookbehind: `(?<!pattern)` (fixed-length only)
//! - x Backreferences: `\1`, `\2`, etc. (not supported)
//! - x Variable-length lookbehind (not supported)
//!
