Indeed, if the regexp is an ASCII representation matching xd outputs
there is not _this_ problem. But this is limited regexp, since one can
not use "character" ranges (it depends on the size); not '.'; because
the conversion has to be done; because there is still the newline
problem (that is added; not something in the original data) (if
functions have been added to not deal with the newline, it is because
the newline is a problem, and because regexp have a more wider use than
"text").
