> (which I think is being merged with std)

It's on that path, but it's unclear if and when a literal merge into std will happen. Right now, the design of 1.0.0 has been accepted, and once that lands and is released, it will move from "the nursery" to the regualr rust-lang org. From there it could go into std, or it may just stay there forever.

regex has some dependencies, though.

aho-corasick, memchr, thread_local, simd, utf8-ranges

That functionality would have to be in std.

Regex in std would sure be nice, though.

Can be in std without being exposed. libc does this IIRC; the stdlib depends on libc but doesn't expose it.

Right, so this would be one of the questions with moving it into the actual distribution. All of that would have to be replicated in-tree and stabilized separately...
