Subject: Re: finding a tag in a binary file

Eventually I found some time to investigate this. Searching on
ruby-core, redmine and ruby-spec I found no indication whatsoever that
it is possible to specify the encoding explicitly (with the exception
of the u,n and s switches). I would love to have an `encoding:'
parameter in Regexp#new.
or at least a switch for force for ASCII-8BIT.
Any thoughts on that.

Cheers
Robert
