The problem is, such a change would probably kill everyone's existing configurations. You'd need something like Vim's \m, \M, \v, \V escapes (magic, no magic, very magic, very no magic), only probably \P (use PCRE; assuming \P isn't taken by PCRE). cheers, -- Iain 'Spoon' Truskett. <http://eh.org/~koschei/>
