Hmm. Well, that's a reasonable obstacle. But still, it seems as if
Apple could have implemented it the "slow" way for now (where it
converts each string to a buffer before regex'ing it), and then once
this bug gets implemented, convert the OS to use the "fast" way. That
way the API could internally be improved over time while the
interface stays the same.
Or is there another reason why it couldn't be done this way...?
Also, FWIW, there are plenty of internal Apple projects which already
mix regular expressions and NSStrings—Xcode comes to mind—so again,
it doesn't seem like a total blocker. Just maybe a short-term perf
issue.

Please note the number of weeks estimated for implementation.
Sorry for the long wait...

Come on. 64b support is different than flashy animations and you

Apple has a habit of making every developer repeat the same basic
work
that should be part of the system. Even with ICU included, you still
have to jump through a number of hoops to use it with NSStrings. They
know it (based on a conversation I had in 2006 at WWDC).
Rather than fix the problem once, they basically force each developer
to "fix" the problem. And this is a pattern that is decades old.

Yeah also why did they waste time adding 64b support when the could
have been adding something a developer could have picked up
themselves if they really needed it.
