Certainly not a standard one, at least...
A standard RE implementation, even if not as complete as PCRE, would probably be as big as 
full Lua code itself (including its pattern implementation...). And a RE engine isn't hard 
to plug in, you can find several implementations around.

PS.: Any opinion on the two RE implementations by Google? One is small, the other is quite 
complete, no?
