Yes, I recorded this patch and then had second thoughts. One more data
point: the docs on subRegex and splitRegex (the two functions I did not
copy over to Darcs.Util.Regex) say

"This does not advance if the regex matches an empty string. This
misfeature is here to match the behavior of the original Text.Regex API."

I am not sure I want to maintain a package with such a compatibility
burden attached to it.

I'll think about the options a bit more. In light of the above reasoning
I tend to think the way this patch does it may still be the best way.
