Are there plans to extend Emacs regexes with lookarounds? With
recursion? If so, when are these enhancements expected?

Other text editors, such as Notepad++, EditPad, and Sublime Text
natively use regex flavors that support lookarounds and recursion. The
same applies to popular programming languages such as C#, Java, Perl,
and Python.

Compared with platforms whose regexes support lookarounds and
recursion, Emacs regexes have limited power, expressivity, and ease of
use.
