Looks like for named group in a POSIX regex engine you would use:
(?:fix(?:es)?|close(?:s)?)\s+(?:(?:\s+and\s+)?\#(?P<id>\d+))+
It also looks like GRETA doesn't support named groups. It looks like it
does support grouping though so you should be able to do this instead:
(?:fix(?:es)?|close(?:s)?)\s+(?:(?:\s+and\s+)?\#(\d+))+
That should only return the issue numbers as groups.
Anyway, I think if you are going to include a regex engine, unless there is
a huge size difference, then it should be the most feature complete and
POSIX compliant regex engine you can find. Otherwise you are going to be
answering a lot of questions about what syntax it does and doesn't support.
