It's also slower, which is why as of today 'a.*b' works even without
sending #asRegex.
Slower because of repeated sends of asRegex?
Yes. Or just because 1 send is already more than 0!
I'd rather see new syntax for compile-time evaluation in literal
position, instead of specialised syntax for regex literals.
##('a.*b' asRegex)
A bit verbose but yes, it is a possibility if performance is a concern.
And it works now.
