Compile पाठ patterns to regex via ↦ regex.

# =============================================================================
# regex — Compile पाठ patterns to regex via ↦ regex.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • converting पाठ strings to compiled regex with `↦ regex`
#   • inline regex flags like `(?i)` for case-insensitive matching
#   • combining `§` template application with regex बदलें for dynamic patterns
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Forgetting that ↦ regex requires a पाठ or ascii source — संख्या and other types must convert to पाठ first.

# literalia/regex — पाठ ↦ regex रूपांतरण
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   रूपांतरण :← stringLit '↦' 'regex'
#   templateExpr :← stringLit '(' exprList ')'   -- then ↦ regex on the पाठ result
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   Regex pattern diagnostics for literals, inline flags, and a template-built path.
#
# BACKEND:
#   Cross-ref पढ़ो/lege.fab for regex beside stdin reads.
#   Cross-ref लिखित/scriptum.fab for § template application.

main {
    const regex digits ← "\d+" ↦ regex
    print digits
    const regex word ← "(?i)\w+" ↦ regex
    print word

    # Template application → पाठ, then रूपांतरण to regex (dynamic path segments)
    const string tenant ← "acme"
    const regex homePath ← "/home/§/.*"(tenant) ↦ regex
    print homePath
}

Expected output:

\d+
(?i)\w+
/home/acme/.*
