local regex = require "pluto:regex"
local pattern = new regex [[/the (only )?one/i]])
print(pattern:matchesFully("THE ONE"))

pattern = new regex [[/anywhere from (\d+) to (\d+)/]]
local match = pattern:match("anywhere from 3 to 5")
-- 'match' would be nil if doesn't match, or a table with fields for each capture group (0 being the whole match, 1 and up being regular capturing groups, and string indecies for named capturing groups.)
