How should I handle them when converting the post to a tutorial? There is no "converting" :) leave original intact and Start a new node (reply ok) with "RFC: Advanced techniques with regex quantifiers" in title
Make it into a good tutorial (clear purpose, clear example, clear caveats , clearly digestible ... )
Advertise in chatterbox, get commentary on it, improve/revise
If you've got positive response, post (minus RFC in title) under Tutorials and wait :)
See How does editing work in the Tutorials section?
Compare to these examples both short Common Regex Gotchas and long Parsing with Regexes and Beyond
Also avoid <readmore> tags in tutorials, its visual interference :)
