That's actually not true anymore (for several years).  Sorry that I
didn't fix the README when changing l3regex.  The only reason I've put
l3regex into the l3str bundle is that l3regex uses lots of strings
(and in fact perhaps fewer than I thought).  I'll need to reconsider
and perhaps split l3str/ into l3str/ and l3regex/.  Anyways, could you
fix the README to say something like "The regex module works on token
lists, and is only included in the l3str/ bundle for historical
reasons."?
