I know that org-in-regexp can be used to check that the point is inside
a given regular expression (see minimal working example below). However,
this has the huge dependency of Org Mode.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "fooooooooo bar")
(goto-char 1)
(org-in-regexp "fo+"))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
(1 . 11)
#+end_example
I'm now wondering whether there's a function bundled with Emacs that
doesn't depend in Org Mode that would do the same of org-in-regexp. I
was thinking in copying the definition of org-in-regexp, but I would
like to first ask for other approaches.
