It occurs to me that since none of the capital letters are taken, we
could adopt the convention that a capital letter as a regex modifier
will introduce a *word* which continues up to the next comma. So for
example:
m/.../Count (instead of m/.../t)
m/.../iCount (instead of m/.../it)
m/.../Count,i (instead of m/.../ti)
m/.../Count,Insensitive (instead of m/.../ti)
That would escape the problem that we are running out of letters and
also the problem that the current letters are hard to remember.
