Description

regex-lite has std feature, but t doesn't compile

I was considering regex-lite in an embedded system. However, trying to compile with std not enable generates a compiler_error!("'std' is currently a required feature, please file an issue");

Research direction

Start from regex-lite's std feature configuration and the compiler_error! message reported in the issue. Check how the crate builds with std disabled and identify the remaining standard-library requirements; done means a no-std configuration compiles without that required-feature error.
