Searches `subject` for the first occurrence of `pattern` and returns structured match data.
Example:
Return shape:
- `matched` is a boolean.
- `pattern` stores the original pattern.
- `flags` stores the supplied flags, or `default`.
- `match` is the full matched text when a match exists.
- `start` and `end` are byte offsets into the original string.
- `captures` is a list of capture objects, with capture `0` representing the full match.
- `named` maps named capture groups to their captured text.
- `named_offsets` maps named capture groups to `index`, `start`, and `end` metadata.
Capture entries contain:
If no match is found, `matched` is `false` and match-specific fields are omitted.
:example
DValue match = regex_search("docs", "uce docs");
print(match["match"].to_string(), "\n");
