Writing a small python layer on top should be easy.

I don't remember wether it was public. Facts: PCRE is fast, it already
implements what Bram had in mind, it even has JIT support.
But yes, it would be PCRE syntax, too. (Is this good or bad?).

You can do this all - kind of.:

You can define helper function

fun! CallPyAndReturn(py-expr)
py a = a:py-expr
py return a
endf

Then

let my_funcref = funcref#Function('return CallPyAndReturn('python-thing', ARGS[0], ARGS[1])', [2])
# my_funcref contains first arg. Second arg still has to be passed:
let x= funcref#Call(my_funcref, [arg_2])
