 On IRC, we were discussing the odd status of irregex, which requires that
 you (use regex) and (import irregex) to use it.  As regex is now just a
 wrapper around irregex, and irregex has no dependencies on regex, it
 seemed to us it might be good to grant irregex full unit status.

 The patch attached does so without breaking any existing code.  To use
 irregex, you can continue to

 (use regex) (import irregex)

 or now simply

 (use irregex)

 for only the irregex API, or even

 (use regex irregex)

 for both, which is (IMO) less confusing.

 Feel free to chime in, anyone.
