The dozens of people I deal with at the US Army Corps of Engineers prefer 'gage' to 'gauge'. Both when used as a noun or a verb. I have no idea why that is their preference but I have been made aware of it on multiple

Performance is unaffected. This provides a fluent and verbose way of building a regular expression. Users of the library then feed the built regular expression into their standard regular expression engine.
