Description

https://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-pcre2/blob/2f87eb93e5b688a23e02354af116176e13c85d38/src/bytes.rs#L400 how can this regex be used to split / replace text in a string? i tried using the split function but is erroring with the message "required for Regex to implement Pattern<'_>". Not sure if I am misunderstanding how to use the regex to split strings or if this is a bug?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the rust pcre2 crate's documentation for split and replace methods. Also examine the Rust standard library's Pattern trait to see if the crate implements it. If not, consider using the find and replace methods directly or implementing the trait for the Regex type.
