in reply to Disambuating $ in (especially /m) regexps

Does it make any sense to match the character after $? It must be a newline. Similarly, the character before ^ must be a newline. So, use \n, and use the :crlf layer if needed to avoid the need to handle \r.

But I'd be interested to know the rules for parsing the regexes, too.
