verbal_expressions

Methods like start_of_line, find, and maybe can be naturally chained to build expressions, as demonstrated in the URL validation example, making regex construction intuitive.

Replaces cryptic symbols with plain English names (e.g., anything_but for negated character classes), which simplifies understanding and debugging, per the README's philosophy.

Offers begin_capture/end_capture or capture blocks for named groups, easing data extraction as shown in the 'goals' example where match['goals'] returns 5.

Generates standard Regexp objects compatible with match, =~, and gsub, allowing drop-in usage without learning new APIs, evidenced by the replacement example.
