Use Re.Pcre instead of Pcre #9

Hi, I looked at converting liquidsoap to it recently and, despite a compatibility layer, the runtime behavior appeared to break pretty hard. I'll have another pass at it shortly. |

Any news on this? Could you be more specific on how the runtime behavior breaks "pretty hard" with re? Are there tests I can easily run to check non-regression? In Debian, the dependency on pcre has become release critical. |

What is the status of this pull request? FYI, ocaml-duppy has just been automatically removed from testing. |

The switch is still planned just not a top priority at the moment. Really appreciate the work put in making |
