Hi, just writing this out of pure curiosity.

Background:

1. I thought I could write regex literals like this in an edn file 
containing configurations:

:some-parameter #"foo"

But reading this with e.g. clojure.edn/read-string causes an error

No dispatch macro for: "

2. I thought I can introduce my own reader tag 
https://github.com/duct-framework/core/pull/21 but then thought it would be 
nice if there was a #regex "foo" reader tag defined in clojure itself.

3. Also noticed that this round trip does not work:

(clojure.edn/read-string (pr-str #"foo"))

4. The idea of a regex tag has been declined 
https://github.com/edn-format/edn/issues/26

I agree it is such really minor itch to scratch, but is the recommended 
approach to use a custom reader tag if one wishes to convey regex over wire?

Sorry for the attention and thanks!
