There already is a (?m
The whole (?x set of thingies is getting complicated... The list of what is
used at present (and in current suggestions is:
Current Use in perl5
(?# comment
(?imsx flags
(?-imsx flags
(?: subexpression without bracket capture
(?= zero-width positive look ahead
(?! zero width negative look ahead
(?<= zero-width positve look behind
(?<! zero width negative look behind
(?{code} Execute code
(??{code} Execute code and use result as pattern
(?> Independant subexpression
(?(condition)yes-pattern
(?(condition)yes-pattern|no-pattern
Suggested in RFCs either current or in development
(?$foo= suggested for assignment (RFC 112)
(?%foo= suggested for hash assignment (RFC 150?)
(?@foo suggested list expansion (?:$foo[0] | $foo[1] | ...) ? (RFC 166)
(?Q@foo) Quote each item of lists (RFC 166)
(?^pattern) matches anything that does not match pattern
(RFC 166 but will be somewhere else on next rewrite [1])
(?F Failure tokens (RFC in development by me [1])
(?r),(?f) Suggested in Direction Control RFC 1
(?& Boolean regexes (RFC in development [1])
(?*{code}) Execute code with pass/fail result (RFC in development [1])
[1] these will all be in an RFC which will probably be out in a day or so.
Unused (? sequences
a,b,c,d,e, ,g,h, ,j,k,l, ,n,o,p,q, , ,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
A,B,C,D,E, ,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P, ,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
`_,."+[];'~)

date.
