"\w" and "\d" character class shortcuts

[kfsone]

Would it be possible to add the regex escapes '\w' and '\d' to the character sequences, and optionally their inverses?

\w <- [a-zA-Z0-9] \W <- ![a-zA-Z0-9] \d <- [0-9] \D <- ![0-9]

Good suggestion!

This would be a really nice feature.

There is also the unicode classes to consider: \p{L} Any unicode letter \p{Z} Any kind of whitespace or invisible separator. \p{N} Any kind of numeric character in any script. \p{P} Any kind of punctuation character.
