For instance it cannot
replace repeated blank lines with a single blank line, as perl can do:

  That would fail in Scintilla even if using PCRE since Scintilla's
use of the regular expression library is line-oriented. That is, a
regular expression can not match over a line end.

Just curious, would it be much work to support multiple line regex matching, or would that require many code changes? I and several other scintilla users would much appreciate it.
