It supports a whole big bunch of it. Anything missing is mainly on the replacement side of things--like the (upper|lower)case thing (which--lets face it--is pretty specialized/gimmicky to begin with). The calibre editor's regex engine also
gains us a few things that other regex flavors don't have, like variable length lookbehinds and the short-hand classes \m \M (which match the beginning and end of words respectively), as opposed to just the \b (word boundary).
The only thing I REALLY miss in calibre's regex ATM is the \K functionality. I'm not entirely sure
why it's unavailable--since it's certainly part of the Barnett Python regex module that it's employing for its editor's S&R.
