As a wild guess, regular expressions? The syntax of regexps
is really horrible for any language which represents them as
plain strings.
On the other hand something like Gauche's #/.../ or Ruby's
#rx{...} for a regular expression literal would be even more
convenient, and potentially allow for the trailing imsx
modifiers.
