Perhaps you didn't find that?
I had found that section, but those examples have no spaces in the regex. And indeed my real pattern contains $, so that is part of the problem. Meanwhile I found a workaround with character classes, like this: \NFoo[[:blank:]]*[bB]ar\N (or any more perlish way of saying "blank"). Still, I think this aspect of the syntax is disappointing. I suggest a new feature: a superquote (for example \Q) which has the powers of _both_ \N and '"'.
