PR #3330 remains a draft because I have just realized I can channel one of 
Vitalije's ideas to allow multi-line regex (*string*) searches in a 
*line-oriented* context. 


Experiments show that my idea is dubious for several reasons:

1. Basing searches on character indices instead of line indices creates the 
possibility of subtle bugs.
2. Multi-line regexs are trickier than single-line searches.

*Summary*

I have moved today's experimental code to the attic (leoAttic.txt), where 
it will likely remain.

I'll merge PR #3330 soon. It's time to convert other importers!
