I think, someday, it would be nice if users could select modern
regex syntax instead of the very very old-fashioned and awkward Emacs
regex syntax. The old syntax and functions that implement it need to
be kept around for legacy reasons, but one could easily set up a set
of parallel new functions that used modern PCRE style syntax, and
allow users to select those instead when doing things like
isearching on regexps etc.
