`QRegularExpression` was introduced in Qt 5.0 as a successor to `QRegExp`, and while it is still supported under Qt6 (via `Core5Compat`), the corresponding `QRegExpValidator` is not. Hence, migrating will be required before being able to port to Qt 6 (LubosD#297). While `QRegularExpressionValidator` is not always a drop-in replacement for `QRegExp` (see the documentation¹ for details), in our case, it is. Our use doesn't run into any of the situations listed, while our only instance of `exactMatch()` uses a pattern that is already anchored. ¹ https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qregularexpression.html#notes-for-qregexp-users

Now that Qt 6 has been released for over a year and is included in most distributions (including Ubuntu 22.04 LTS), porting Twinkle to it seems like a nice little project. 😄
