Subject: Regular expressions alternative

   Hi,

   Wouldn't it be a good idea to create a option (say, b) for regular 
expressions such that all characters (except / and \) would match 
themselves unless preceeded by a backslash? For instance:

  /http:\/\/www.ruby-lang.org/b

would match only the site name, and

  /Something\$/b

would match Something at an end of line?
