Thanks once again to Peter and Jussi.
With that groupindex pointer, this tiny dsl for re's is here
https://github.com/rusimody/redsl
[How BTW did you folks go about unearth that groupindex?? Dont see it in docs]

Comments welcome.
If people have comments on the python thats fine -- specifically if something
does not work, is unclear etc.

I am however more specifically interested in the DSL-design --
Can one clean/spruce that up?
