Swift regexes describe an unambiguous algorithm, where choice is ordered and effects can be reliably observed. For example, a `print()` statement inside the `TryCapture`'s transform function will run whenever the overall algorithm naturally dictates an attempt should be made. Optimizations can only elide such calls if they can prove it is behavior-preserving (e.g. "pure").

What we propose here is an incremental step towards better parsing support in Swift using parser-combinator style libraries. The underlying execution engine supports recursive function calls and mechanisms for library extensibility. `CustomPrefixMatchRegexComponent`'s protocol requirement is effectively a [monadic parser](https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/marktoberdorf/baastad.pdf), meaning `Regex` provides a regex-flavored combinator-like system.

An issues with traditional parser combinator libraries are the compilation barriers between call-site and definition, resulting in excessive and overly-cautious backtracking traffic. These can be eliminated through better [compilation techniques](https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/148008325.pdf). As mentioned above, Swift's support for custom static compilation is still under development.

We use Foundation `FloatingPointFormatStyle<Decimal>.Currency` as an example forprotocol conformance. It would implement the `match` function with `Match` being a `Decimal`. It could also add a static function `.localizedCurrency(code:)` as a member of `RegexComponent`, so it can be referred as `.localizedCurrency(code:)` in the `Regex` result builder:
