My private opinion is I don't need this.
But I don't want to rule out my being wrong-headed.
The OP might have other use-case where this is useful.
So the reopen.
Everyone who need this feature are encouraged to involve this thread.

Feature #12700: regexg heredoc support

There is support for ', ", and ` heredocs, but there is no support for /.
Example code with new feature:
~~~ ruby
first = 'first'
orig = /#{first}
match\s # match
this # match this
/x
right = <</REGEXP/x
#{first}
match\s # match
this # match this
REGEXP
raise unless orig == right
~~~
There is no straight forward way to replace a regexp heredoc as a double quote heredoc requires that '\\s' be escaped.
As shown in the code below you can't use the string heredoc to directly replace a regexp heredoc because of this need for extra escaping.
~~~ ruby
first = 'first'
orig = /#{first}
match\s # match
this # match this
/x
wrong = Regexp.new(<<REGEXP, Regexp::EXTENDED)
#{first}
match\s # match
this # match this
REGEXP
right = Regexp.new(<<REGEXP, Regexp::EXTENDED)
#{first}
match\\s # match
this # match this
REGEXP
raise unless orig != wrong
raise unless orig == right
~~~
