   > > I had a look how `canBeMultilinePattern` is used and I think it would be 
easier and more consistent to modify the regexp `MULTILINE_REGEXP_PATTERN` in 
`TextRegexpUtil`. The util method is used to determine if a single line in the 
file is enough for examination or if the whole file needs to be matched.

expects a regexp (see doc and also the actual pattern) and checks if the regexp 
would want to match multiline. If it would also check if the regexps itself 
would be multiline that would make it a weird frankenstein method - so i 
decided against it.
   
   If you rename the method in your mind to `needsMultilineContext` it is in no 
way frankenstein, it does exactly what it should. A regexp containing a "real" 
newline character will also fail, so why not fix it there?
   
   Without fixing it in this one method, you need to also fix `FastMatcher`.

   The tests are not exhaustive, the cases:
   
   `test\ntest`
   `test\rtest`
   `test\r\ntest`
   
   are missing. You demonstrated, that they can be entered by copying and 
adding them causes test failures.
