Maps warnings, errors, flag errors, C-like errors (preg_last_error()), return type values and other unexpected situations in PHP regular expressions to exceptions.
Fixes bugs and incosistencies (fixed in later versions of PHP or not at all)
Prevents fatal errors from preg_() methods (for example, by throwing InvalidArgumentException).
Additionally:
Provides higher-level API for matching, replacing, spliting, validation.
UTF8 support out of the box
Removes false positives (in PHP regular expressions, missing group, unmatched group and matched empty string are identical, T-Regx distingushies them)
Provides API for chained and multiple patterns.
Provides patterns without delimiters, so pattern('\d+'), instead of preg_match('/\d+/');
Provides Prepared Patterns, an abstraction for building patterns with user data
Functional interface
More advanced methods, for example reacting to replacement not being done, optional matches, injecting strings into groups, etc.
