A better regex engine/library for VBA?

The official regular expressions library in VBA is Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5.
Unfortunately, as well described here VBScript RegExp Object - Using Regular Expressions with Client Side Scripting, it lacks quite a number of advanced features available in Perl and other modern regular expression flavors:

• "No \A or \Z anchors to match the start or end of the string. Use a caret or dollar instead.
• Lookbehind is not supported at all. Lookahead is fully supported.
• No atomic grouping or possessive quantifiers
• No Unicode support, except for matching single characters with \uFFFF
• No named capturing groups. Use numbered capturing groups instead.
• No mode modifiers to set matching options within the regular expression.
• No conditionals.
• No regular expression comments. Describe your regular expression with VBScript apostrophe comments instead, outside the regular expression string."

.NET, PCRE, Python engines seems some better regex engines.

Has anyone ported one of these engines as a library for VBA?
