How about using //e to extend a visual selection?

Say the current search is your multi-line pattern, then

     :let @a=""
     :g//exe "normal v//e\<cr>$\"Ay"

appends the text of each match into register a, as whole lines (thanks to the 
$).

Why the backslash before <cr>?  Will <cr> without it be replaced
by ^M in a doublequoted string? Where in the :help is that?
And if so why not a singlequoted string here anyway?

Just trying to learn.
