I noticed that matchstr() seems to always interpret ^ as start-of-string and $ 
as end-of-string, even when the string is multiple lines. ":help pattern" says 
they should be start-of-line and end-of-line, respectively.

For example
  :echo matchstr("foo\nbar", '^foo$')
matches nothing.

I don't see anything in the matchstr() help indicating that it treats 
start-of-line and end-of-line any differently. I tried \_^ and \_$ as well. Is 
this a bug?
