Nevermind, don't answer that...

Aren't we providing an interface to define your own regex modifiers?
All of these can easily be mapped into Perl 6 patterns, so...

But you can't use sp in a character class. Well, that is, unless
you write it:
+[ a..z ]+sp
or some such. Maybe that's good enough.
Er, that's now +[ a..z ]+sp,

And in the general case that's a slightly more expensive mechanism
