Is there a reason why regex is used instead of Python standard library re? I am thinking about moving to PyPy and re is faster than regex in PyPy. As a side note, some versions of regex package has some issues.

From docs/Benchmarks.md I see that it is about performance. With re the tests are still passing. Can I safely assume that regex can be replaced by re?
