Is there a way to use the Unicode tables in the Rust regex crate to match a single char without turning it into a String or &str? It seems like the internals must have a way to do this, but perhaps not exposed? Is there a trick?
I don't know if I would use the term 'ridiculous' necessarily, but I think I would need some compelling evidence to motivate it. There's some incongruities to consider (like regexes that never match a single codepoint), and whether it's really worth a new API item.

e.g., If there was an example that said, "match on a specific codepoint by doing `http://re.is _match(codepoint.encode_utf8(&mut [0; 4]))`" that might be enough. https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=79cd9455d12d186af21ae685f6f909fb&version=stable …

I would never have thought to turn a char into a &str that way! I wonder if it means we should add char as_str(&self) -> &str
