It's a custom engine that I wrote which matches all the regexs in the
filters at the same time (so is pretty fast). Looking at the header here:
https://github.com/jthornber/lvm2-ejt/blob/master/libdm/regex/parse_rx.h
It seems to support just catenation, |, *, +, ?, [<charset>], ^ and $
Out of interest why are you using the length of the device name as a discriminator?
