Title: Named Capture to Data Tables
Description: User-friendly functions for extracting a data
 table (row for each match, column for each group)
 from non-tabular text data using regular expressions,
 and for melting columns that match a regular expression.
 Patterns are defined using a readable syntax
 that makes it easy to build complex patterns
 in terms of simpler, re-usable sub-patterns.
 Named R arguments are translated to column names
 in the output; capture groups without names are used
 internally in order to provide a standard interface
 to three regular expression 'C' libraries
 ('PCRE', 'RE2', 'ICU').
 Output can also include numeric columns via
 user-specified type conversion functions.
