In general yes, but there is a significant problem.  PHP uses regular
expression that span lines.  It's not clear how to match those
patterns one line at a time :-)

But as I write this, it would seem (for PHP at least) that the regex
consists of a "start" part and a "stop" part.  Since both are
independent it should be possible to get the job done.

OTOH, one can imagine regex's that can't be split in this way.  They
would have to be avoided.

Drat.  I have no intention of going back to the bad old ways, but this
glitch could cause problems for a number of languages.  Well, I'll
just have to massage the regex's as needed.
