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.
