My response bounced back to me, not sure if it went through.

I agree, I doubt functionality in IE8- will matter, but I was thinking it
would be nice to align the regex modifiers with other languages for the
future.

*Java:* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/
regex/Pattern.html#DOTALL
*Python:* https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.DOTALL
*C#:* https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.
regularexpressions.regexoptions(v=vs.110).aspx

There is a variety of namings for this across the languages
(DOTALL/SINGELINE) but I believe the most often used modifier to be
`/.../s` which would be a nice addition to have.
