There already seems to be an implementation of some SRE operators in
the parser-tools collection.  lex-sre.ss provides *, +, ?, =, >=, **,
or (but not its synonym |), seq and its synonym :, ~, -, &, and /.
What's left out are the word and string delimiters, submatches,
character classes, case sensitivity, and dynamically computed forms
,<exp> and ,@<exp>.

I don't think these SRE operators can be easily used outside the
parser-tools collection, though.  Functions such as regexp-search and
rx aren't provided.  But you can use the SRE notation in a scanner
that uses lex.ss.
