[mtasc] Joey Lott's RegExp class

Actually, you probably didn't screw up.  I spent a long time porting
Elvis M's Interpreter (3000 + lines of string analyisis - much like
the RegExp stuff).  I got it to the point where neither mtasc nor FDT
threw any errors.  But it didn't work anymore.

I believe it's because there are some subtle differences between the
way mtasc understands certain syntax and the way the MMC compiler
understands it.

For example:

in MMC "'" matches '\'' but doesn't in MTASC
in MMC "'" matches "\'" but doesn't in MTASC

Do a search of the archives for "Code in MTASC and MM producing
different results."  The above info is from that thread and comes from
Robert Edgar.
