Just out of curiostiy, why did you use \z and with ^ instead of \A?

    Little code &mdash I don't recall ever seeing any &mdash uses \A and \Z for regexps without /m. This is probably because the alternatives ^ and $ stand out more. I didn't see any reason for breaking this convention. If \a was an alias for \A, I would have used that.
