> Go ... I don't think it tells you anything else, like the position of the match.

The regexp.Regexp.FindReaderIndex and .FindReaderSubmatchIndex methods tell you the position of the match.

Despite having studied Go's regex engine in depth, I have somehow missed those methods. To the point that when you responded, I assumed they were added recently. I checked to be sure, and indeed not. They've been there since Go 1.0.

Thanks for the correction!
